On Thursday, Region Västmanland presented last week's figures on its website.

The figures show that the corona situation in the county is looking better and better. The development curve shows a gradual and clearly improved situation over the past six weeks.

On 22 June, 41 patients with covid-19 were treated at hospitals in the county, three of them at IVA. In the last two weeks, the figure is down to between two and five patients who are hospitalized with the virus, while IVA has been completely without covid patients in the last two weeks.

But despite the positive development, the region is preparing for a second wave of increased numbers of infections.

180 people have died

Up to and including 5 August, 2518 confirmed cases of covid-19 have been confirmed in Västmanland. 180 people have died as a result of the virus.
