27 out of 96 have died at a residential home in Solna.
"In the letter to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, which was made on April 21 by the union Kommunal, the situation at Berga elderly housing is described as "extremely difficult". Up to half of the workforce is or has been on sick leave."
"The safety representative has also raised an alarm that staff move freely between departments with both infected and uninfected, in the same work clothes and with the same mask, with the risk of further infection spreading," the report states. The employer have implemented several, but not all, of the requested measures, according to the union's letter.

The death of nurse Marielle DeBruhl, 39 has now been reported to the police:
"Now the safety officer at her workplace has reported the death to the police. They believe that the protective equipment used at the hospital does not meet the requirements set by the Public Health Authority, according to the report."
"Crime classification is a work environment crime by causing another's death, a crime that is more common in the case of death at construction sites, such as fall accidents or industrial accidents, Nordin explains.
Police are now investigating whether someone at Marielle DeBruhl's workplace can be held responsible for the death.
- It can be a supervisor, it can be the management. We must find out, says Mats Eriksson, press spokesman at the police in Stockholm."

Accountability is important, so I'm happy to see these investigations.
