Self-tests against covid-19 will quickly stop the spread of infection in schools in Västmanland

To reduce the spread of infection in the schools, Region Västmanland will soon provide the schools in the county with self-sampling kits. 

- If you see signs of the spread of infection in a class, you want to be able to quickly map the entire class, says Lars Blad. 

However, students must register their exams on 1177.se.

Children who are 13 years or older need their own e-identification and children between six and twelve years register their test by the guardian logging in with their e-identification and switching to proxy mode. 

In the clip, Lars Blad talks about the benefits of self-sampling and the problems that can arise.
