The infection situation is serious in several places in Sweden and a number of regions are therefore facing increased demands for oral protection.

- In the worst case, this could be the beginning of a third wave.

The reason is, among other things, that the British virus variant seems to take over extremely quickly, says Signar Mäkitalo, infection control doctor in Sörmland, in SVT's Aktuellt.

Three million people are affected when Västerbotten, Gävleborg, Stockholm, Västra Götaland and Sörmland introduce new such recommendations.

Signar Mäkitalo wants the new recommendations to be introduced throughout the country.

In addition, he calls for restrictions on the opportunities to travel.

- Yes, because we have a large movement in the country, for example everyone who stays in the mountain areas.

I would like national recommendations and I have wanted that for a long time, says Signar Mäkitalo in SVT's Aktuellt.

Would you like people not to go on sports holiday trips?

- Honestly, yes.

That is what I have been saying for quite some time in Sörmland.
