Norrbotten has registered 904 new covid cases during the last week and this means that the number of patients in the county is more than the national average if you look at the number of inhabitants.
In addition, 102 people, mainly elderly in care, have now died as a result of the coronavirus.
"Sad and tragic"
- It is sad and tragic, but the large spread of infection unfortunately means that people die.
Covid-19 is life-threatening when it enters, for example, nursing homes, says infection control doctor Anders Nystedt.
He still believes in a slowdown in the spread of infection in Norrbotten, and perhaps already during this week.
- I think the obedience to the new general advice has been great, but I dread the effects of Black Friday and the Christmas shopping is probably dangerous, I'm afraid, says Anders Nystedt.
