After a meeting on Thursday, the union's threat to stop the corona sampling on the buses in Västerås and Sala was temporarily averted. Municipal security officer Reza Forghani assessed the work situation as okay after a check during the day. The reason for the possible stop was that major deficiencies were discovered in staff training and the handling of protective equipment.

The responsibility lies with the supplier

The sampling is done by a procured company which in turn has hired a bus company to provide staff. Everything that includes mobile sampling in the county lies with the supplier, according to the region's chief physician Mats Stenberg.

But it can increase the spread of infection, and is it the region's responsibility?

- Yes, we are an actor in this. If it would lead to the spread of infection, it is serious and it must be evaluated. But I can't say anything about it now, he says.

Do you duck for the question?

- Of course you can say that. I do not understand the valuation of that. I can only say that we have been offered a solution and that it is a serious player.
