Linköping:
Answer from Åsa Strömberg Head of Student Health
What does it look like with the spread of infection in schools and preschools in the municipality?
Right now I follow three units preschool / elementary school / high school with 2-10 diagnosed infected individuals.
The unit with 10 cases is one of our larger schools and the cases are spread throughout the business.
The principal's report indicates that they have been infected in various places from close relationships at home / in their free time.
We maintain a close dialogue with the infection control unit to make wise assessments in the business.
How are the operations affected?
The great impact in the business consists of anxiety and fatigue as a consequence of having worked with the impact in the business for a long time.
The margins are small.
However, we have operations that are relatively unaffected as well, which have survived both established infection and high absenteeism.
What does it look like with sick leave?
Sick leave does not stand out in its entirety compared to a normal year.
In places even lower than usual.
Last week we could see a small increase in student absenteeism compared to the weeks before.
We follow the absence all the time to be able to see changes.
Norrköping:
Answer from Sofie Lindén, director of education
What does it look like with the spread of infection in schools and preschools in the municipality?
We see that the increased spread of infection in society also affects our operations and that the infection thus also increases within our preschools and schools.
There is a spread of infection within several units from preschool to high school, some units are hard hit while others are spared.
How are the operations affected?
Of course, the operations are affected.
The staff is worried and has already had a stressful work situation.
At present, a preschool, a primary school, a special primary school and a high school program are closed and in distance education, respectively.
Those who are most affected in addition to our staff are of course children and students who receive education in other ways and we do everything we can to maintain good conditions for learning.

Very different from unit to unit.
We see that absenteeism has increased in the last week.

There is a general spread of infection in society.
Our preschools and primary schools are not excluded.
There are confirmed cases of Covid-19, both in preschool and elementary school.
How are the operations affected?

Extent differs between different preschools and schools.
Most devices report moderate impact, some significant impact and some none at all.
Reorganization and schedule changes have been made to resolve situations.
What does it look like with sick leave?
The preschool has had a higher sickness absence, compared with the same period both 2019 and 2020, gratifyingly we see a positive trend with reduced sickness absence.
The same applies to compulsory school, but there the sickness absence is somewhat lower.
Sick leave is due to various causes, such as colds, at home with symptoms, other causes of short-term absence, long-term absence, VAB.
February is a month with increased sick leave and absence among children and students, according to statistics from previous years.
The number of new infected cases of Covid19 per week, seen for the whole municipality, has steadily decreased from v.2 but increased again slightly v8-9, decreased again v10, but increased again v11.
Since v6, we have been on a plateau, 52-84 new infections in the municipality per week, statistics from RÖ.
Mjölby:
Response from Thomas Kinell, Education Administration
What does it look like with the spread of infection in schools and preschools in the municipality?
Within Mjölby municipality, we continuously monitor the situation in our operations.
We have for a long time had a relatively unchanged proportion of employees and children / students who are absent.
We follow total absence regardless of whether the cause is confirmed Covid 19, other disease or e.g.
care of children.
We also saw no major change after the Christmas or sports holidays at school.
How are the operations currently affected?
In general, the operation is affected by the need for continuous reconciliations of the situation, and adjustments in the operation to maintain education and care while minimizing the spread of infection.
At unit level, some preschools and schools have had higher absenteeism than the average for certain periods, which gives a more strained situation to handle with redistribution of resources within the unit.

With regard to confirmed infection and disease in Covid 19, there have been few cases so far in total, but it has happened that one unit has had more than one.

Answer from Petra Sand, school principal
What does it look like with the spread of infection in schools and preschools in the municipality?
Until today (March 25), we have not been affected to such an extent.
What we do from today is to switch to distance education in upper secondary school for a shorter period, to break any chain of infection (there is no large spread of infection but we want to stop in time).
Today, preparations are being made for the students (students are in school) to be able to work remotely until Monday next week in a first position.
How are the operations currently affected?
All other activities are in full swing, where the impact is there because it is tiring for the staff to work for a long time under the current situation and restrictions, but they do a fantastic job and persevere and persevere. So a big praise to all staff and guardians as well as students who help so we can have our activities running.
It is very important for both the students' education and socially that the activities are running, so that is what we strive for.
