According to the Swedish Public Health Agency, approximately 25 covid patients are admitted to hospitals every day across the country.
But according to a new scenario, the figure could rise to 60 people per day in mid-May.
- We know that the immunity of the population decreases over time.
Above all, too few young people have replenished their third dose.
If you do not have it, you have no protection at all against the omicron variant that is circulating right now, says Malin Bengnér who is an infection control doctor in the Jönköping County Region.
What do you think about the fact that many young people have no protection at all?
- I think it's unfortunate, because even though most young people do not suffer from a serious illness, some do.
So many are being cared for right now
In Jönköping County, at the beginning of the week, 14 people are being cared for in hospital with covid-19, of which one is in the intensive care unit.
But that figure may rise in the future.
- Make sure you have the best possible protection.
If you are over 18 and have not taken your third syringe, make sure to do so as soon as possible, says Bengnér.
