On Thursday morning, Social Affairs Minister Lena Hallengren and Swedish Public Health Agency Director General Johan Carlsson will present new advice to people over 70, the group that has been most affected by the current corona pandemic.
Exactly what these tips will look like is still unknown.
– I hope that now the same advice applies to all, but that there is talk that the risk of getting into trouble increases with age, says Barbro Westerholm, a Liberal parliamentary politician, who is involved in the issue.
The Swedish Public Health Agency presented general guidelines for countering the spread of the infection in Sweden on April 1. At the time, people over 70 were advised to limit their physically close contacts with other people as much as possible and to avoid staying in places with many people.
Since then, the recommendations have held firm, despite many expecting relief for the elderly as early as May. The tense healthcare situation led the Swedish Public Health Agency to choose to stick with the prevailing line.
