On Saturday, the Gävleborg Region reported that four people had been confirmed infected with the new Brazilian variant of the coronavirus.
Now the infection control doctor Shah Jalal says that it is about two families with a close relationship who have been infected.
One of the four must have been in Stockholm County.
- Therefore, infection tracing must be done there and it will start next week.
It is the infection control in Stockholm and the Public Health Agency that may try to find a little more information about where they have been, says Shah Jalal.
It is still unclear where the people were infected.
New restrictions in Gävleborg this week
Tomorrow, Gävleborg will have new restrictions due to the spread of infection in the region.
- There are new strict restrictions, says Shah Jalal, infection control doctor in Gävleborg.
It is mainly the high spread of the British mutation that tightens the restrictions.
- It is the one we worry about the most because it is steadily increasing among the samples, he says.
The four people affected by the Brazilian variant are all healthy today, says Jalal.
