Last week, SVT Norrbotten reported on a major outbreak in a nursing home in Överkalix municipality.
The social manager then stated that around 15-20 people were infected with covid-19, both staff and users.
It was stated that the covid-sick people felt relatively well, but during the weekend one person died in covid-19, according to the infection control doctor Anders Nystedt.
Nystedt says that, according to information to him, it is about an elderly person who has been unvaccinated.
- It is sad but not unexpected what has happened.
But we will see more deaths, not only among the unvaccinated but also among the vaccinated, even if the risk is much less, says Anders Nystedt to SVT.
271 people have died so far
By the weekend, 270 people with confirmed covid-19 had died since the beginning of the corona outbreak.
But now 271 people have died.
So you are not surprised by what has happened, even though it was stated that many felt good last week?
- No, it's sad but it was a big outbreak and it's an insidious disease with subtle symptoms.
It is important that you continue to be super careful and follow the restrictions, the same applies to relatives, says infection control doctor Anders Nystedt.
SVT Norrbotten is currently looking for Överkalix social manager but without results.
