It was during the municipal board meeting on Wednesday that it was decided, DN writes, that the administration together with infection control Västra Götaland will be tasked with making it possible to introduce a visitation stop in Gothenburg’s nursing homes.
– In a purely legal sense, it is not possible to introduce a restraining order, since the laws are written. Therefore, this is not easy to formulate. That is why we speak of a visiting stop. We cannot impose a fine if it is violated, but the municipality’s directive is clear: we cannot receive visits from relatives now, as the infection develops, Elisabet Lann (KD), municipal councilor in charge of caring for people, tells DN greater.
