The situation is dire, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven emphasized at the press conference on Friday afternoon.
– There is a limit to what medical care can do, he said.
Löfven presented five new measures against coronary disease.
* In restaurants, parties of a maximum of four people are allowed (against the previous eight) and the alcohol service ends at 20 instead of as before at 22.
* A maximum number of visitors to shops, shopping centers and gyms is entered.
* The Swedish Public Health Agency recommends protecting your mouth on public transport when traveling to work during the week.
* High schools will continue to teach distance learning.
* All municipal and regional activities that are not necessary must be closed. This includes restrooms, sports halls, and museums.
In addition, the government wants “nonessential” personnel in public and private workplaces to work from home.
– Everyone who can work from home must do so from home. If you are tired of digital meetings and want to meet your colleagues, you should wait a little longer, says Deputy Prime Minister Isabella Lövin (MP).
Most of the above measures will apply until January 24.
It is unclear how many visitors will be allowed in stores and malls. The government places the responsibility on companies and municipalities.
– Municipalities must have a real capacity to maintain effective supervision, says the Minister of Social Affairs Lena Hallengren (S).
Exactly which public transport trips will be covered by the oral protection recommendation has not yet been decided. The public health authority must provide detailed information on, among other things, the weather.
– Public transport must provide a stock of mouth guards to distribute free of charge, says the agency’s CEO Johan Carlson.
As for high schools, Friday’s announcement means another two weeks of distance learning.
– It’s not a long Christmas party, says Education Minister Anna Ekström (S).
