Vacation plans may be affected by the infection situation and the attention capacity of the municipalities. State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell notes that travel restrictions in Sweden may remain during the summer.
Those who have dreamed of a trip abroad this summer may have gotten used to the idea that it will probably be difficult this year. Now many point out that recommendations to avoid traveling within Sweden will also be upheld.
– The fact that now we want to continue traveling is because there are great differences between the different parts of the country. And we should not pour gasoline on the fire in those parts of the country where the spread of infection is slow. It’s good that things go slow, says Anders Tegnell, a state epidemiologist at the Public Health Authority.
What is needed for travel to be freely re-released?
– From the perspective of the Public Health Authority, it is that we have a fairly uniform spread of infection throughout the country, so we do not spread the infection from the parts that have a lot of infection to those that have less. We are beginning to see signs that things are slowing down in Stockholm and are beginning to move in several of the larger regions.
But even though the spread has leveled off well in the summer, there may be reasons to restrict travel, Tegnell cautions.
– So the motive with the burden on health care remains. Many municipalities indicate that they cannot receive people who need home care, home care, etc.
He adds that it is not really the area of the Public Health Authority, but mainly a discussion between the state and the respective municipality.
