Region Sörmland stops routine testing of healthcare staff for covid-19: "No difference for the spread of infection"

Since February last year, the Public Health Authority has recommended broad testing of health and care workers who show symptoms of covid-19.

A recommendation that as of today ceases to apply.

Within Region Sörmland, mouth protection will continue to be used in contact with patients, and patients and care recipients with symptoms that may be covid-19 will be tested.

In the clip, infection prevention doctor Malin Enarsson tells, among other things, why it is not believed that the removed recommendations will affect the spread of infection.
