“The Swedish Public Health Agency, together with infection control doctors from the Skåne Region, has decided to drastically strengthen advice for residents and visitors in Skåne. Everyone is encouraged to avoid shops and public transportation and hang out only with people they normally meet in everyday life, “the region writes on its website.
“Avoid public transportation”
Scanians are urged not to hang out with people they do not live with, to avoid congested indoor environments. You are also asked to work from home. The decision is valid for three weeks from now and will be continually updated and possibly extended.

They are similar to the ones we had in Uppsala: to avoid public transport as much as possible, to avoid indoor environments like stores and shopping malls, of course, you still have to make the necessary visits, said state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell at the conference. of today’s press.

It does not suit our situation with a greater spread of the infection and a large number of people in care centers and IVA, says Governor Anneli Hulthén, who was on the link during the press conference of the Public Health Agency.
– General meetings will be held for 50 people or less. It is valid until November 30. It should be seen as a whole by the stricter general councils that have now come to Skåne county. It’s about reducing physical presence, regardless of whether you’re in a store, a theater, or wherever you are.
