The infection control doctor sees a worrying development in Sörmland after being at stable low levels in the number of new covid-19 cases week by week.
And not since July 20 this summer have hospitals reported that someone has died as a result of the infection.
Now the spread of infection is increasing and the infection control doctor Signar Mäkitalo is issuing a general appeal to the people of Sörmland.
- It is very important that you are now careful and do not participate in parties, he says.
At present, three patients are cared for for covid-19 at the county's hospital, but none of them receive intensive care and the infection control doctor wants it to remain.
- We want to avoid at all costs that the elderly, who can become seriously ill, become infected now.
