Around 40 people test positive for the coronavirus daily, and most are in the age group 19-49 years.

Among the elderly and inside the county's nursing homes, the spread of infection remains low, Region Skåne announced on Friday.

14 patients with covid-19 are cared for in hospital, three of them are admitted to the intensive care unit.

- It is gratifying that the infection situation in Skåne is as stable as it is and that we currently see no signs of any major outbreaks. I would like to thank all the inhabitants of Skåne for several months of sacrifices in our joint work to limit the spread of infection. But even though the situation is stable in Skåne right now, it is important to continue to hold on and persevere for a while longer, says infection control doctor Eva Melander in the press release.
