Make PCR-test for COVID-19 available to kids under 6 in Skåne län


Make PCR-test for COVID-19 available to kids under 6 in Skåne län
The Issue
Region Skåne does not offer testing for COVID-19 to kids under 6 with symptoms.
Kids are asked to be home with any kind of symptoms and then allowed back if totally recovered or after 7 days with remaining mild symptoms.
How teachers and parents are going to judge the mildness of symptoms?
And how can we be sure that kids are not positive to COVID even when only presenting mild symptoms?
We ask Region Skåne to give access to testing for kids in the age group below 6, as it is available for older kids and as it is available to kids of all age in Stockholm län (with the only exception for kids not going to preschool/school).
Testing will help to: (1) keep a safe preschool environment for both kids and teachers, (2) avoid long absence for the kids and (3) unnecessary long period of VAB for the parents.
