That is why so many of covid-19 died in Gävleborg - report states: "Class differences are the basis"

During the second wave of infections last winter, Gävleborg's statistics pulled away on the number of deaths as a result of covid-19.

According to regional councilor Jan Lahenkorva (S) and the report that the region is now presenting, this is because Gävleborgers have a larger proportion of people with underlying risk factors than the rest of the country, and this in itself is a consequence of large class gaps:

- We have an unequal society with a low level of education, relatively high unemployment, a high proportion of overweight and diabetes, says regional councilor Jan Lahenkorva (S).

- The report can not confirm such a thing, Lahenkorva (S) answers.
