Celebrations that are canceled and ceremonies that do not go away - National Day becomes a dimmed event in the wake of the Corona crisis. At the same time, several digital national day speeches have been published - including in Jönköping where Faith Kakembo speaks on the municipality's site.

She works as an anesthetic nurse with patients who have covid-19 disease. In the speech, she commends all the colleagues who work during the difficult pandemic; cleaning staff, nurses, nurses and doctors and others.

- Almost like soldiers who are fighting against an invisible but highly real enemy, she says.

In the clip you hear more about her national day speech and how difficult it can be to work in the health care during the pandemic.

Not just gloomy

For the happy narcotics nurse Faith, there will be jobs during the National Day. A few hours after SVT's interview, it is time for another work session at the county hospital Ryhov with seriously ill covid patients.

- It's hard work, we have to work hard.

But far from everything is gloomy in the speech. Faith Kakembo focuses a lot on paying tribute to both Sweden as a country and the hometown of Jönköping.

- In my opinion, this is probably one of the best places on earth to live. It is easy to forget it in these times, she says with a smile.
