Ingmar Skoog is part of the Corona Commission’s expert group for infection control issues

Ingmar Skoog, professor of psychiatry and director of the Center for Aging and Health (AgeCap) at the University of Gothenburg, is part of an expert group for infection control issues recently established by the Corona Commission. The group will be advisory in the Commission’s continued work.
“It is exciting for me as a researcher in the epidemiology of aging to participate in this context with microbiologists, infection control experts and infection doctors. It has become clear during the pandemic that multidisciplinary knowledge is needed, and that knowledge of the aging population is required to know how to protect the elderly”, says Ingmar Skoog.
The Corona Commission has also set up two other expert groups, focusing on the economic and social consequences of the pandemic, as well as crisis preparedness and crisis management. Ingmar Skoog has also been commissioned by the Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate (IVO) to be part of another corona-related expert group.
