The spread of COVID-19 is increasing in Östergötland

The region's call to get vaccinated is strong for the groups that are recommended vaccination.

"The number of people who needed inpatient care has increased sharply and many hospital beds in Östergötland are filling up and hospitals are getting crowded," says Britt Åkerlind, infection control doctor.
