- A few weeks ago, 1 in 100 was positive when we took the test.

Now it is 1 in 5. The spread is again in the middle of us, unfortunately, said Jessica Frisk, care director in the Östergötland Region in SVT's Helgstudion on Saturday.

On Friday, Region Östergötland went into staff mode.

According to the director of care, this means that they focus more intensively on the work with covid-19 and that they believe that they need closer communication with other actors such as the municipality and the county administrative board.

34 patients with covid-19

Right now, there are 34 patients with confirmed covid-19 in the Östergötland Region, according to the care director.

- There are about ten more patients than yesterday.

Right now, there is no need to postpone more interventions and visits, according to Jessica Frisk.

But this can happen if the number of patients increases.
