Region Skåne wants to make sure that everybody in Skåne knows what to do to prevent spreading the coronavirus infection. Therefore, there is now a campaign with information about the 1177 Healthcare helpline.

– The aim is to provide information about how we can avoid the infection together, says Anna Strömblad, Communications Director at Region Skåne in a press release.

The campaign #enkrampådistans reminds people about the advice to wash their hands, sneeze and cough into their elbows, stay at home if they’re sick, protect themselves if they’re over the age of 70 and to show consideration.

The campaign will be on social media, on Region Skåne's information screens and all the municipalities in Skåne.
