The first positive case of covid-19 was found at the end of March. In connection with this, the staff also switched to so-called cohort care or barrier care.

In addition to the basic hygiene routines, personnel must also use protective equipment according to the infection control unit's procedures. The person being cared for is isolated in his apartment.

Thus, despite the measures, the ninth case was identified on Saturday.

Relatives have been contacted and the person is cared for at the accommodation in accordance with Region Västmanland's recommended routines, the municipality writes on its website.

SVT News Västmanland is seeking the municipal social director for a comment.
