In both Öland municipalities, healthcare and care personnel will receive an additional SEK 2000 in the salary envelope in June. The money is a thank you for extraordinary efforts during the corona pandemic.

- For us, it is important to thank and be grateful for our staff who do a fantastic job out there, every day, 24 hours a day, says Matilda Wärenfalk (S), chair of the municipal council in Mörbylånga.

"It is a way to reward staff who have worked under harsh conditions for a long time," says Ilko Corkovic (S), chairman of the municipal council in Borgholm municipality.
