In the last week, the number of covid-19 cases has increased in the county. More and more people are being tested positive, and more are being cared for for covid-19 at the University Hospital.
- We are concerned about the development, says health and medical care director Mikael K?hler.
On Wednesday, 34 new cases of covid-19 were confirmed among those sampled in the past 24 hours.
- We have prepared for the fact that there may be a second wave during the autumn and what we see now may be the beginning. Now it is important that we are all on our toes and do everything we can to stop the infection, says director of health and medical care Mikael K?hler in a press release.

The theory: Children infect their parents
One theory that infection control works with but which has not been confirmed is that children infect each other and then their parents.
- We see that for a couple of weeks we had a large spread among students and in the group 20-30 years. It has gone back and instead there is now a broader increase in several age groups, says Johan Hedlund at the Infection Control Unit in Uppsala.
Due to the increased spread of infection, the Uppsala region will continue to have a restraining order on care activities.
