When it comes to Christmas travel, there are also the national recommendations that are keep your distance, wash your hands and keep your distance, even though it can be difficult on fully booked trains.

- You can use common sense when you travel and if you are ill, you must stay at home and cancel the trip regardless of how much money you spent on it, says infection control doctor Eva Melander.

More are testing themselves

Last week, 26 percent more new infections were reported in Skåne, which corresponds to 3,186 people.

According to Melander, it is self-sampling that has increased, but also an increasing societal spread of covid-19.

Children, young people and younger adults account for the majority.

- The infection is spread mainly in households, in middle and primary schools, private parties and workplaces, says Eva Melander.

She now recommends everyone to take responsibility.

- Vaccinate yourself, stay at home if you or someone in the family is ill, take a sample and stay at home until you are completely healthy, says Eva Melander.
