The coronas center ravaged the worst of Vallehemmet from late May to late June. Most residents and staff were infected, the municipality of SVT Nyheter Väst now confirms. During these weeks, one third of the residents of the home died.

- Eleven people died at the current home after being infected by covid-19. When it comes to a person, we are not sure if the cause of death was covid, but eleven are still what we say, says Pernilla Magnusson.

Skara Municipality has not wanted to tell us about the accommodations that the infection is. Instead, the municipality has provided common figures for all five dwellings. Thus, it has not been clear how bad it was at the Valle home. Only relatives of those infected have been notified. Relatives, for example, who wanted to take home accommodation to protect them have thus had no basis for doing so.

Ordinary staff

Then why did the infection come in? She does not know this, but it is not about untrained staff, she points out.

- We had regular staff and also a special group that was specifically trained to work on a co-op unit that had to shift and work on this accommodation, says Pernilla Magnusson.

Vallehemmet is not currently included in the 91 homes that Ivo said should be specially examined. But according to what Ivo states for SVT, the accommodation could very well be added to the list, and thus it can still be an in-depth review in Skara.

At another special residence in Skara municipality, two people have died in covid-19. There, a relative of a resident has requested information about where the infected and dead are located, but received no from the municipality. The case is appealed to the District Court.

A total of 16 people have died in covid-19 in Skara, according to Ivo's statistics.
