Regarding antibody testing, which shows whether the person has had the coronavirus and developed antibodies, Region Örebro County has the opportunity to control 800-850 patients in the county a week.
- Now the times are booked for two weeks ahead. It is a sampling that is not so urgent, it is healthy people who want to know if you have been sick, says Lena Adolfsson, Deputy Health and Medical Director.
It was last Wednesday that covid sampling was expanded in the county. When it comes to the antibody tests, new times for sampling are released each week and it is only Örebro, Stockholm and Uppsala where these are offered in the regional direction to the public. In Örebro it is felt that demand is greater than the number of times.
In addition to samples that have been shown to have developed antibodies, the general public can take samples that show whether you have ongoing covid-19 disease.
Regarding these tests, the region has the opportunity to sample about 1,800 people a week. There, pressure has been greatest in Örebro, but both Lindesberg and Karlskoga have vacancies.
- What I think is great is that there are free times for those who have symptoms. I feel good, says Lena Adolfsson
