- The care and nursing staff are tired after the spring pandemic wave, at the same time as we see an increased need for care for covid-19.

Now we East Goths must step up by following the new advice.

Stop partying and reduce your physical contacts!

says Kaisa Karro (S), chairman of the regional board.

Asked to follow the advice

In order to slow down the increased spread of infection in Östergötland, the authorities are now joining forces to urge the people of Östergötland to follow the general advice that was introduced on Thursday.

On Friday, the Östergötland region went into staff mode in order to deal with the effects of the increased spread of infection.

- We Linköping residents now have a choice.

Either we change our behavior properly in the near future and follow the new restrictions or we do not manage it and then instead have to count on a more closed society for many months to come, says Niklas Borg (M), chairman of the municipal board in Linköping.

Requires sacrifices

The pandemic is far from over and will require sacrifices from the East Goths in the coming weeks.

- Today we understand that it will take time before we have regained everyday life.

It is important to persevere and persevere, just as the authorities say.

In addition, we must stay together and stay in touch.

Both the pandemic and the anxiety must be fought with the same force, says Lars Stjernkvist (S), chairman of the municipal board in Norrköping
