As of April 11, environments such as zoos, museums, art galleries and amusement parks will be able to open, if the pandemic situation allows it.
On Thursday, the Swedish Public Health Agency presented its proposals for measures that will be required by the activities to open.
A maximum of 500 people will be allowed to stay at the sites at the same time, according to the proposal, and measures are required to reduce congestion in, for example, queues and walks.

This applies to both interior and exterior surfaces.“Writes the Public Health Agency. At the same time, it is proposed that the same area for museums and art galleries be at least ten square meters.
