"About twice as much sick leave than an ordinary day in March"

Operations must continue as usual, even though the situation is special at the moment.

- We carry out the efforts that each user is granted, Fridha Söderqvist says.

Every day you look at how sick leave looks and adapt your business to the conditions.

- If it is a unit with higher sick leave, we try to redistribute staff across our various home service areas, she says.

To reduce the risk of being infected by a user who is suspected of having covid-19, there are special protective equipment.

- It can be visor, mouth guard and a long-sleeved protective skirt, but we also follow the region's guidelines in recommended protective equipment.

Staff and managers have received training in measures for covid-19 and the spread of infection.

- Of course, it is the basic hygiene that we work with in normal cases, but we have also made an extra effort on both information and training to ensure staff. Then it is extra important how to handle in case of strong suspicion or confirmed case of covid-19.
