The staff situation applies until further notice.

Admission of all patients who are not seriously ill is stopped.

The emergency operations continue as usual.

- Unfortunately, we are in a situation where the situation is strained and we have too few care places.

Therefore, we are now going into staff mode to be able to monitor the situation and implement the measures that are needed, says Magnus Hedström, healthcare manager in a press release.

Yesterday, Norrland University Hospital announced that all operations will be canceled, now it will be the same in Skellefteå.
