The corona virus means that healthcare is drawn at higher costs. The Gävleborg region had expected to be ten million plus after the interim report for January-March, instead the result was minus SEK 391 million.
In addition to cost increases in health care, revenues from public transport have been sharply reduced, and the value of the staff pension fund has fallen drastically like the stock exchange.
The Corona virus makes the forecast for the full year more uncertain, according to Region Gävleborg, but instead of a budgeted surplus of SEK 192 million, a current deficit of 489 million is expected.
