At present, the infection is not considered to be connected to the activities at the university but from kick-in parties for students in Västerås - something that has been arranged outside the school's auspices.
The school's head of office and acting head of administration, Malin Gunnarsson, tells SVT Västmanland that the outbreak is "very unfortunate".
- We have always during this ongoing pandemic informed and reminded to keep your distance, wash your hands and stay at home if you feel bad.
Then there have been activities outside the school and then there has been a spread of infection.
She also says that they had a dialogue with the infection control and after that changed all training in the programs affected by the infection, so that the next two weeks are conducted entirely at a distance.
Infection doctor:
Cherin Kamil, infection doctor and operations manager at the infection clinic in Västerås, believes that this is a measure that will suffice.
This is because it is about young people who "do not get so sick" and who are less contagious than other groups.
She says this in SVT's Morgonstudion.
At the same time, she emphasizes that all people have a responsibility to ensure that the infection is not spread to other groups.
- The risk is that this spreads to more vulnerable groups, and if that happens we will get more people in hospitals and more people who end up in intensive care.
She also says that it is up to schools, students and student associations to act in the best way to avoid the spread of infection.
- I think that everyone should be aware that you can not pull many together now during the ongoing pandemic.
