Last week, 94 positive cases were found in the county against 95 cases two weeks ago.
More than 3,000 tests were taken.
- We see a clear increase on the coast.
Above all, it is about Luleå that stands out and we can expect more cases in the near future, says Anders Nystedt and continues:
- It usually spreads like rings on the water, we will see where it goes.
Cluster outbreak in hospital over
As for the cluster outbreak at Sunderby Hospital, it now seems to be over.
- We found 17 positive cases related to the hospital.
The spread of infection has stopped, and there are no more cases among the staff and that is positive.
Nor has any patient been infected, says Nystedt.
Right now, three people are being cared for at a hospital in Norrbotten for corona.
