The region's public transport, X-trafik, was also affected by the disruptions, making it difficult to book transport services and sick leave. At 4:30 p.m., the region reported that it was working properly again.
On Tuesday evening, Telia had extensive problems that, among other things, knocked out the police's national 114 14 number. Several hospitals in the Stockholm region went into emergency mode. The food giant Coop's payment system was also affected and stores were forced to close.
Telia then explained the problems as "a power failure" which was later fixed.
However, Thursday's disruptions were isolated to Gävleborg, according to Roija Rafii, press spokesperson at Telia, who does not know if there is any connection with Tuesday's problems.
