"Finally" there were probably many who thought when the message came yesterday.
But for the staff at iva, the reality is different.
Karin Frisell says that they are in a situation where they need to send patients to other regions.
- We must start thinking about opening larger premises for covid patients, she says.
Operations are piled up
When the number of patients increases and the pressure on care increases, it is necessary to borrow staff from other departments.
- Having a special business for covid patients attracts people and that leads to us having to postpone operations and then we get a care debt, she says.
Can get sick despite vaccine
The message from Frisell is clear.
- Even if you are vaccinated, keep your distance.
Take this seriously because you can still get sick even though you are double-vaccinated, especially if you are in a risk group, she says.
