It was in connection with a debate about Sollefteå hospital that the death threat emerged, and the regional council chamber was evacuated around 3 pm on Tuesday, which Tidningen Ångermanland was the first to report on.
It's a powerful threat, says Åsa Bellander, regional director at Region Västernorrland, to P4 Västernorrland.
There is every reason to take precautionary measures.
The threat is said to have arrived by letter and is directed against both politicians and officials, depending on how the decision would be made for the hospital.
The matter has been tabled.
A previous investigation has suggested that large parts of Sollefteå hospital should be dismantled, and the parties have taken different stances on the issue.
