Kristoffer Tamsons, President of the Swedish Public Transport industry organization, welcomes the new recommendation from the Swedish Public Health Agency on oral protection in public transport.

“This is a welcome investment. For me, mouth guards in rush hour traffic, for example, as well as in other contexts where there is a risk of congestion or it is difficult to keep your distance, have been normal for a long time,” it says in a press release.

Tamsons believes that development during the fall has demonstrated the need to use all available tools to reduce the spread of infection.

“Wearing mouth guards in contexts where you can make a difference shows consideration and consideration for other human beings.”

Kristoffer Tamsons is also Stockholm Regional Councilor for Moderate Traffic and President of SL. Already this summer, he recommended SL travelers to wear mouth guards.

“Of course, it has not been feasible for Sweden to stand out so clearly between an almost united world and an international experience,” the press release states.

The Swedish Public Health Agency recommendation to wear a mouth guard applies to commuting to work during the week. The national guidelines are scheduled to go into effect on January 7.
