- Infection control Sörmland has been in contact with the person concerned.
The person in question has acted completely according to the recommendations even before symptoms.
The person in question is not in need of hospital care and follows the instructions so as not to carry the infection further, says Signar Mäkitalo, infection control doctor in Sörmland, in a press release.
The person who has been tested positive for the virus traveled to Sörmland from the UK for a visit over Christmas.
No one else in the household should be infected.
-This is a person who traveled to Sweden to celebrate Christmas, says Signe Mäkitalo, infection control doctor in the Sörmland region.
"Very low risk of spread"
According to Mäkitalo, the probability of the spread of infection in Södermanland is very low - if it exists at all.
Sara Byfors at the Public Health Agency urges people who have been to the UK and arrive in Sweden to isolate themselves, in the same way as the person in Södermanland did.
