People who live in a municipality but who have a summer cottage on Gotland have the opportunity to apply for care on a temporary stay. The housing municipality then contacts the residence municipality about home care and home health care. But now Region Gotland is appealing that people in need of health care stay at home instead.

Many sick leave

Many employees in home care and home care at Gotland are currently on sick leave.

Due to sick leave and the risk of infection spreading, Region Gotland wants the home municipality to inform the person about the conditions that the region has and that they are not currently ordering home care or home health care on the island.

At the same time, the region refers to the recommendations of the Public Health Authority to stay at home.
