According to infection control at Region Jämtland Härjedalen, Easter can be a factor in the increased spread of infection.

People may have met people they do not normally meet and with bad weather you may have stayed more indoors.

Of the 607 new cases, only 79 people did not live in the county.

About half of the new cases are people who have had symptoms and tested themselves.

The other half has been found via infection tracing.

About 130 of the new cases concern children up to and including upper secondary school age.
