This weekend, the children's wards at Norrland University Hospital noticed an increased influx of sick children.
Right now, many infectious diseases are ravaging, including covid-19.
Even small children are getting sick from covid now and several need hospital care.
- There is quite a lot of covid in the little ones, it also affects the smaller children.
They get a lot of mucus and problems because of it, says senior doctor Deborah Frithiof.
The routines must be tightened
Now she wants parents to tighten up the routines in case of illness again.
- You have to be careful about letting small children meet adults and relatives who have a cold.
Have people forgotten everything after the pandemic?
- Yes, we have lost it very quickly.
But it must be remembered that this was also the case before the pandemic came.
Now it's like people cough without thinking, she says.
