The number of healthcare covid patients has increased and is now a total of 54, according to Region Örebro County statistics.

Eight of the patients are in intensive care, according to Tobias Kjellberg, who is deputy director of healthcare.

As the burden on healthcare is now increasing, the region plans to open up more care places for covid patients.  

- We will need to open up more care places during the week to be on the safe side.

Exactly what it looks like I can not give information about here and now but we are working on the solution.
