In recent weeks, the infection situation in the county has deteriorated and the spread of infection is increasing in several age groups, especially between the ages of 10 and 19, but even among younger people and adults there is quite a lot of spread, according to the infection control doctor.
Are you worried about the situation?
I'm worried, says Shah Jalal, infection control doctor in the Gävleborg Region.
Increase in covid tests
During the last week, the sampling has gone up a lot.
- 7,575 samples taken in the last seven days, says Shah Jalal.
Is it a lot?
- It is a lot, more than a doubling compared to the week before.
The Swedish Public Health Agency has changed the sampling indications and since then the sampling has increased, says Shah Jalal.
