It was during Thursday that the Swedish Public Health Agency announced the new local restrictions in Västra Götaland that will be introduced to stop the growing spread of the infection in the region.
The strict advice says, among other things, that the public should avoid swimming pools, libraries, stores, shopping malls, and similar indoor settings. The advice will apply for the next three weeks.
On the same day, the sports and association administration told GT that people are encouraged to stay home and not visit municipal sports activities.
And on Friday comes the news that parts of municipal activities will begin to close.
“Today, Friday, October 30, I made the decision of a president to temporarily close the open activities that the sports and association administration has, that is, swimming pools, gyms and public skating,” says Elisabet Lann, president of the sports committee and associations in a press release.
Closed for three weeks
The closing will last until November 19.
– We do this to reduce the spread of infection in society and to help Gothenburgers follow the advice given by the Public Health Agency.
Valhallabadet, which is run by the municipal company Got Event, also closes during the same period.
However, the enclosure will remain open to schools and swimming schools (young people born in 2005 or later are not covered by the new municipalities) and associations. Elite sports are also not covered by the restrictions.
As early as Thursday it became known that several museums around Västra Götaland, including the Gothenburg Museum of Natural History, will be closing for three weeks.
The performances are canceled
On Friday, the Gothenburg Opera announces that all performances will be canceled until November 22. The board is behind the decision.
– They are difficult, heavy but absolutely necessary decisions based on the extreme situation in which our society is currently. Our balanced assessment, after going through the new strict advice and after speaking with infection control physicians in the region, is that this is the only reasonable thing to do now to take on our corporate and social responsibility, says Christina Björklund, CEO from the Gothenburg Opera House in a press release.
