If the spread of the infection increases again, the restrictions can be significantly tightened, states the Public Health Agency. One can speak both of oral protection and of quarantining relatives of infected people.

At a press conference, Social Affairs Minister Lena Hallengren (S) said that the government and authorities have a long-term perspective on working with the pandemic, a perspective that everyone should have, she says.
The Swedish Public Health Agency has previously presented three scenarios for the spread of the infection, where one is about a declining spread, while two scenarios are about increasing the spread.
Advice to the public will largely remain in the fall, but there may also be town halls and restrictions on public gatherings, says Lena Hallengren.
The Public Health Agency CEO Johan Carlson believes there are many reasons to stick to the cornerstones of strategy.
The backbone of the pandemic remains the three main pillars: wash your hands, stay home if you are sick and stay away from others, he says.
But it is important to have regional and local structures in place for any local outbreak, Carlson says.
You also see on the job of having restrictions for people living with infected people, for example adults living with an infected person working at home.
Johan Carlson says restrictions can be tightened locally if necessary in the event of an outbreak. For example, to restrict public meetings to a particular geographic area.
Sweden has stood out as one of the few countries in the world that does not recommend oral protection to the public. Now the Public Health Agency seems to turn the problem around.
Mouth guards may also have value “during a transition period” in the event of a local outbreak, Carlson says.
