- When this will peak, we do not really know yet, but according to the Public Health Agency's scenario, it should now be during week three or four, says Maria Amér, infection control doctor at Region Gotland.
With so many infected people, the test activities are severely strained and the region mainly needs to prioritize that the capacity is sufficient in health and care.
- At the moment, testing for symptoms is only recommended.
We will see if more sharpened advice is needed regarding who is to be tested.
Work is underway nationally with the Swedish Public Health Agency.
There is also a limited infection within the Armed Forces, which currently has a lot of personnel on the island.
- They have their own care organization and with the possibility of sampling.
The test capacity for Gotlanders is not affected.
