Ida Björn from Nordmaling usually works as an assistant nurse on surgery at Norrland University Hospital.

Now she and a dozen employees during surgery have had to let go of their regular tasks to go in and support IVA2, the department that cares for covids.

She describes the work as very tough.

Working with a mask is her and several others' everyday life and when she sees people on social media arranging parties or parties, she gets furious.

- It is not over, only half of us in the staff have received vaccines.

There are more patients now than last spring so we have an extremely pressured situation, says Ida Björn.
