The Public Health Agency Then CEO Johan Carlson took over. In order to reverse the spread of the infection, it is necessary for everyone to follow the advice and recommendations that are now prevailing.

In addition to the fact that there should be no sales at noon, he also announced that store owners must limit the number of people who can stay in the store. Only a few can stay in the store so there is no congestion.
State and municipal activities that are not necessary should be closed until January 24, says Johan Carlson.
Mouth guards are now also recommended on public transportation.
– Mouth guards should never be seen as an alternative to keeping your distance, says Johan Carlson.
When the partnership starts again on January 7, congestion risks increasing and therefore the Swedish Public Health Agency will draw up guidelines on the use of mouth guards on public transport during certain hours.
Guidelines should clarify where and between what hours this recommendation will be applied.
During the press conference, Johan Carlson was asked what has changed regarding the sight of mouth guards.
– We have never been against oral protection. But we’ve been afraid that you will lose focus on keeping your distance if you use it. In the same situation we mention now (at certain times in public transport, editor’s note) it can have a positive effect, he says.
Stefan Löfven got a question of why they choose to impose the restrictions at this time.
– Health care does not have the strength to do so much. In this dire situation before such a long weekend, it is correct to act.
