On Tuesday, the Stockholm Region held a press conference regarding the coronavirus' impact on care and preparations for the autumn.
Participating in the press conference are the director of healthcare Björn Eriksson and the health and medical care regional councilor Anna Starbrink (L).
They both wanted to thank the healthcare staff who have been fighting against the corona since March.
Right now, 27 people are hospitalized for corona in Stockholm and two people are in intensive care.
It can be compared to 1,100 hospitalized when it was at its worst in the spring.
More and more people are being tested for active coronavirus.
Last week, 1.3 percent of those tested were positive.
Last week, that figure was 2.2.
- What we can see are worrying signs that the spread of infection is increasing.
These are low levels but it is increasing, says Björn Eriksson.
He points out that all Stockholmers must now help to prevent the infection from gaining new momentum in Stockholm like large parts of Europe.
- I get desperate about those who behave as if it is over.
You can affect others who are much more sensitive, Björn Eriksson continues.
