tell smittskyddsl?karen Signar M?kitalo
- he died after a few days. He was 70 and not vaccinated before, says Signar M?kitalo.
So far, 36 cases of swine influenza has been confirmed in the county, which is a rapid increase since the first cases were reported.
But smittskyddsl?karen guess that the number of infected is far more than that.
"It is many, but it is only those that have taken samples of which we know, says Signar M?kitalo who believe that it is difficult to assess whether it is continuing to spread.
The Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control estimates that it can increase. But there is much that goes into this, the weather and how we spend time.
