Monday's new corona figures show that a total of 71 people are being cared for for covid-19 in Helsingborg.

This is a decrease of six patients since last Friday when 77 corona patients were admitted.

- Today I would describe the situation as quite calm.

We have fewer inpatients than when it was at its worst and we have employees who have handled covid-19 for a long time, says Katarina Lockman Frostred, acting head of operations for the emergency room in Helsingborg.

Fewer intensive care units

The number of patients in Helsingborg's intensive care unit has also decreased slightly, from eleven on Friday to ten on Monday.

- We see a decline, which of course is very nice and we hope that it is a persistent trend that it is turning around, says Katarina Lockman Frostred.

The snow and slipperiness of recent days, on the other hand, has been noticed in the emergency room in Helsingborg over the weekend.

- We see a small increase with injuries that are suspected to be related to slippery injuries, such as injuries to the wrists and feet.

But it is a smaller increase than we might have had if it had not been for the corona pandemic.

People seem to have been more at home, says Katarina Lockman Frostred.

Difficult staff situation

Despite a somewhat less strained situation regarding the number of corona patients, it is still difficult to get the staff at Helsingbrog's hospital together.

- It really is a puzzle to put it together.

You must not work with any kind of symptoms and you must be at home until you get an answer from the sampling, says Katarina Lockman Frostred.

A total of 15 fewer patients with covid-19 are cared for in Skåne on Monday compared with last Friday, but the number of people 69 people are cared for in the intensive care unit, which is an increase since last Friday.

Last week, the situation was more strained at Helsingborg's hospital - hear doctor Peter Hammarlund describe the situation in the clip below.
