SVT told last week that 15 out of 21 counties have reported infection in housing for the elderly in the national progress report sent to the government.

A follow-up of Ekot showed that the figure had risen: a total of 18 counties had reported infection.

And now the number has increased further. The county administrative boards' joint office states on Tuesday for SVT that 19 out of 21 county boards reported covid attendance on senior housing.

Just one missing case

Our survey shows that even that figure is out of date.

When SVT goes through information from various sources - including county boards, regions and municipalities - only one county is left where no covid infection has been reported on elderly housing, namely Gotland.

Thus, from all the others, there are reports of covid infection in elderly homes, from single cases to large outbreaks with several deaths (see fact box).
