In total, municipalities and regions receive SEK 15 billion in support as a result of the corona crisis. The municipalities receive 70 percent of it, and the regions may share the rest.
For Region Uppsala, the 175 million will be a welcome addition.
- Among other things, we have reduced revenues from public transport and increased costs for intensive care, says Björn-Owe Björk.
In addition, Akademiska is currently unable to sell as much care to other regions as it usually does.
Is the supplement of 175 million enough?
- In the short term, it may cover the costs we have, but next year there is a great risk that our tax revenues will decrease and then I think the state must postpone even more.
