The infection control doctor about the new covid scenario: "It's not so surprising"

As the virus is constantly changing, the spread of infection also changes.

Now it is the second variant of omicron, omicron BA2 that has taken over and it is estimated to be about 30 percent more contagious than its predecessor. 

- Every time the virus changes, it becomes a little more contagious and another variant takes over, says Signar Mäkitalo.

The scenarios that the public health authority paints are not true but are something that could happen, says Signar Mäkitalo.

- We get to follow the development and it is good with such a scenario.

Then the health service and the region can be prepared for this and prepare, he says.
