- The risk of someone being infected is small but not non-existent.
The exposure time for the patients has been short, says infection control doctor Anders Nystedt.
Small children
Infection tracking is ongoing among staff and patients with whom the employee has had contact.
It is mainly small children who are at risk of picking up the infection and therefore they are tested in the first place.
Based on that result, it is decided whether expanded control in the circles around the patients needs to take place, says Anders Nystedt in a press release from the Norrbotten Region.
