Covidfallen in Kalmar County is increasing again after a decline since the turn of the year.

The infection is increasing in all municipalities, but the municipalities that currently have higher activity are the municipalities of Västervik, Mönsterås and Oskarshamn.

- It is very possible that it is an incipient third wave, says Lisa Labbé Sandelin.

In Mönsterås, Ljungnässkolan had to close almost two weeks ago due to several confirmed covid incidents.

Lisa Labbé Sandelin believes that there is a pronounced social spread in Mönsterås with many cases linked to the school.

But she points out that there are also other cases with connection to other places.

- It is probably a lot of a reflection on what is moving in society, she says.

Points to the British mutation

There are still no answers as to whether any of the covid cases are any of the virus mutations.

But according to Lisa Labbé Sandelin, it may be the British mutation that has taken root in Mönsterås.

- It has gone very fast and very many have become infected, we suspect that it is one of these variants.

Especially the British who have a higher infectivity.
