In Norrbotten, a large outbreak of covid-19 has been found.

73 of 76 berry pickers in Tväråsel in Älvsbyn municipality have fallen ill.

Now the infection control Västerbotten has identified what it looks like at the carrier facilities in the county and found a few isolated cases.

- We have a facility where we have found isolated cases, there are fewer than five, says Therese Thunberg, assistant infection control doctor.

The sick berry pickers have been isolated, including the pickers who have been in close contact with the sick.

Infection control in the northern counties has had a joint meeting of the carrier companies during the morning to reconcile the situation and routines.

- Now we hope that there will be no further spread, Thunberg concludes.
