During a press conference, the region announced what the coronal situation looks like right now and the plan for the summer. As of Monday, the preparedness is switched from reinforcement mode to staff position. Director of Health Håkan Wittgren believes that it is a reasonably stable phase that leads to that decision, but at the same time emphasizes that the danger is not over.
- We appeal to everyone to continue to follow the recommendations, he says.
Non-emergency operations have been postponed during the corona pandemic. However, the region now plans to start regular operations within six months to a year ahead. However, this schedule may change and is an estimate made.
"Not seen a decrease"Infection protection physician Jan Smedjegård says that Västmanland's mode of infection reached a peak during Easter, but that it did not then go down at the rate expected.
- We had hoped for a clear reduction, but we have not seen that, he says.
The restrictions are fewer and you switch down in readiness even though the spread of infection has not gone down as much as you thought, how do you understand it?
- Yes, there will be some double messages we need to convey. But it is important to keep the recommendations in mind so that no one unnecessarily risks spreading the infection, says Jan Smedjegård.
