The tents are outside Nyköping's hospital, Kullbergska Hospital and Mälar Hospital will be dismantled during the week.

The reason is that there are now significantly fewer patients with symptoms who seek care and it is possible to keep patients separate without tents.

- When it was at its worst, there was no room in the emergency rooms to make this assessment of whether it was Covid-19 or not.

Then they wanted to do that examination outdoors so that the risk of infection would be less, says Signar Mäkitalo.

"Continue to follow the recommendations"

However, the regional management emphasizes that the pandemic is not over.

- It is still important to follow the recommendations that exist.

Stay at home if you are ill, keep your distance and wash your hands, says Fredrik Gustavsson, press officer at Region Sörmland's communications staff.
