According to the Västerbotten region, the person who worked at Skellefteå hospital must have gone to work last year at the same time as he was waiting for test results for covid-19.
The test then turned out to be positive.
Region Västerbotten states in the reason for dismissal that the person has acted irresponsibly and taking risks.
It is also believed that the person was passive in finding out test results and ensuring that they were infection-free, and thus exposed colleagues and patients to a great risk of infection, illness and injury that could have serious consequences for the business.
Crime of exposing others to infection
According to the motivation in the region's decision, the person by his actions acted in violation of his personal responsibility under the Infection Control Act and acted in violation of current routines and guidelines that existed in the workplace, which is a violation of the employment contract.
The region also writes that it can also be a criminal act to expose others to infection and disease.
