The staff at the accommodation in Nybro sounded alarm when the elderly man had a high fever and was then re-admitted to the hospital, reports P4 Kalmar.

- The person was included and had a high fever, says Carina Leijon, head of care, to the radio.

This has caused concern among the elderly care staff who did not know it was a coronary-infected patient. But Carina Leijon says that the accommodation handled the case entirely according to the regulations.

"We have informed the persons concerned and responsible operations are handling the issue," Arnold Lennartsson, a medically responsible nurse in the municipality of Alvesta, said in a press release.
