On Saturday, Stockholm announced that the city’s library, cultural school and sports facilities will be closed until January 24.
“The infection situation in Stockholm is very serious. For this reason, the Stockholm City Council has decided that all activities for all ages are carried out in all sports facilities in the city, both indoors and outdoors.“He writes the city of Stockholm on his website.
Erik Söderberg, president of the IFK Täby HC hockey club, criticizes the decision:
– Basically it has been said that it is important for children and young people to play sports and exercise. But now all of a sudden you just have to close everything, it says and continues.
– The worst is for children who have poor conditions at home, who cannot go to training to avoid problems such as drugs, crime and gangs. Where should they go?
“People are sick as always”
So far, Täby has not presented a similar message. The municipality is awaiting a response from the Swedish Sports Confederation, which is in talks with the Swedish Sports Confederation about the measures that should be taken.
– We will respect any decision made, says Erik Söderberg.
At the same time, he believes there are ways to reduce the risk of infection without shutting it down. At his club, for example, the changing rooms have been closed since Monday. The children come dressed up, step on the ice, and leave the room as soon as training is over.
– If we look at the attendance statistics, people are sick normally, but it is not higher than last year.
