Department closed to NUS: "Critically ill employees"

The security ombudsman said that about half of the NUS oncologist employees, or about ten to fifteen people, had experienced symptoms.

– Some have known all week and some have become acute patients today. I made a complete assessment to close the oncologist. We do not know what it's all about, "said Bengt Sjöberg, Safety Manager for the Careers Association.

The oncologist is an outpatient department where patients receive cytostatic treatment in the newly constructed part of the hospital.

"It's the indoor climate to do.The employer has been in contact with the property and will replace 60 filters for ventilation," says Bengt Sjöberg.

Director of Operations: "I'm worried"

The county council tries to determine what is wrong with the property.

– I'm worried. We had never closed such an emergency and moved it that way. We do not think it's something that comes from within, but we think it's possible and that's what is done to build and tear it out, and that's why all this, "said Elisabeth Karlsson, head of the Cancer Center.

No patient visit will be canceled for this reason.

"We will not have any work in the room tomorrow.However, we have been able to extend outpatient treatment to other premises." Patients who will have treatment and visits to the doctor will receive it, explains Elisabeth Karlsson.
