A record number are now being cared for for Covid-19 in Sweden. A total of 2389 patients receive care for corona, shows a review of the regions’ reports made by SVT. There are 65 more than April 20, which according to the Public Health Agency was the day so far when most were cared for Covid-19.
In several parts of the country, the number of hospitalizations has increased rapidly in recent times and most patients receive care in Stockholm, followed by Västra Götaland and Skåne. “The pressure on healthcare is increasing quite slowly.”
“The situation can not be compared with this spring.” Anders Tegnell said as late as the end of October. Sharp increase in corona But the spread of infection has increased dramatically in the country and today a total of 2389 patients were cared for Covid-19 in Sweden – the highest rating so far, shows SVT’s review of the regions’ reports.
New stricter councils New stricter national councils were introduced to slow down the spread of covid-19. People are now encouraged, among other things, to stay at home in the event of symptoms, limit new contacts and only socialize in a small circle, travel in an infection-proof manner and work at home as much as possible. Everyone should also avoid congestion in connection with Christmas and midday shopping.
“A struggle” Stockholm is the region with the largest number of patients. The situation there is very strained, especially in intensive care.
– Right now it is a struggle to stay one step ahead. Our emergency hospitals open all the intensive care units they can and there are places available, but the employees work hard. We are working intensively to find more ways to expand care, says Björn Eriksson, director of health and medical care in a press release.
“Can end really badly” Director General of the Public Health Agency Johan Carlson has previously said that the culmination of the pandemic may come sometime before, or during, the Christmas weekend. –
The risk is therefore great for an increased spread of infection and it can end really badly, warns Carlson.
