During the autumn, the Gothenburg compulsory school administration temporarily closed two school activities due to the spread of the infection: Fjällboskolan and a special teaching group in a compulsory school.
Both schools have returned to regular teaching after the fall break. But now another school is forced to remain closed, this after a consultation between the primary school administration and Smittskydd Västra Götaland.
– The reason is that many staff members are at home with symptoms. There are 20 who are at home, of which seven have been found covid, says Anders Andrén, head of education and covid coordinator for elementary school operations in Gothenburg.

– For those whose parents have socially important professions, we organize it carefully. The others can be at home.
