Today, Monday June 15, the Stockholm Region began free sampling for corona for everyone living in the county. This applies to both antibody testing, to see if you have had covid-19, and to test for ongoing illness for those who have symptoms.

But there were problems at once. To book you need an app called Always open, but on Monday morning you could not log in to the app. The error message "Currently there is a problem connecting to the server", met those who tried to log in to book their test.

On 1177.se it says that "Right now it is not possible to reach the app Always open, troubleshooting is ongoing".

Great interest is expected

According to Stockholm Region, on Monday it would be possible to book times for the first two weeks. Interest is expected to be high, patients who need care will still be prioritized.

Anyone who cannot download apps or have an old operating system on their mobile can call their health center to make an appointment, but in the first place it is intended to go through 1177 and the app.
