The infection control doctor advises against travel during the sports holiday

- I think it is an advantage if the East Goths stay at home during the sports holiday.

But the most important thing is that we think about keeping our distance from each other and whatever we undertake to have with the recommendations that apply, says Britt Åkerlind, infection control doctor Region Östergötland.

From the turn of the year until week 3, there was a steady decline, in terms of the number of both new infected and anal patients in hospitals in Östergötland.

But since then, weeks 4, 5 and 6, it has been quiet with small variations up and down.

"Should stick to its innermost circle"

It is therefore important to continue to adhere to the recommendations to minimize a sharp rise, says Britt Åkerlind who wants to encourage Östgötarna to think about how they interact with other people.

- You should stick to your inner circle, household contacts or a few others.

If you hang out, do it outdoors and keep your distance.

This has happened before and I think we can do just as well during the sports holiday, says Britt Åkerlind.
