In the last week, 320 people tested positive and the week before that the corresponding figure was 250. In total, the number tested in the county is around 5,000 people.
- Just like previous weeks, we see most cases among young adults and middle-aged people.
In the last week, however, there has been an increase in children who have become infected.
Most people become infected in situations where people are close to each other, says Gunlög Rasmussen, infection control doctor in the Örebro County Region, in a press release.
Get cared for in hospital
At present, no one is cared for in the intensive care unit, and four people are cared for in a regular care unit.
- That there are so few people with covid-19 who are hospitalized at the moment is probably due to the fact that the infection has so far been present, especially in the younger age groups.
Urges to follow the advice
According to the region, some local restrictions are still not relevant, but they urge everyone to follow the recommendations made by the Swedish Public Health Agency.
