The trend in the county continues with an increasing spread, especially among younger adults between the ages of 20-29, where many have not received a vaccine dose and the others have only received one dose and therefore do not have adequate protection.

- What we have seen is that we have had the spread of infection among people who have met in larger groups and the spread takes place mainly in the Umeå area.

They have met in circles of friendship and then they also spread the disease to their families where both younger people and parents have become infected, says Therese Thunberg.

The way forward to curb the increased spread of infection, yes it is the same as it always has been.

- We have to keep our distance.

We need to test ourselves for symptoms.

And we have to make an appointment for vaccination.

We continue to hammer in that message, it is not more difficult than that, says Therese Thunberg.
