Keep preschoolers at home if any member of the family has symptoms.
This is required by both the Swedish Teachers Association and Kommunal, who believe that the burden will be too great for the staff.
– The workload in the country’s preschools simply requires it, says the president of the Teachers Association, Johanna Jaara Åstrand.
The Lärarförbundet and Kommunal unions now demand that even preschool children should be at home if someone in the family is infected with corona, Swedish radio reports.
– We see how the workload is completely unreasonable in preschools today and how these guidelines on infection-proofing children when covid is at home only increase the burden because it means you get extra work tasks and have to manipulate the organization after this. The margins simply do not exist, says the president of the Teachers Association, Johanna Jaara Åstrand.
She believes that the Swedish Public Health Agency should clarify its recommendations, which state that preschool-age children can continue to go to preschool and that guardians should pick up and drop off children without having close contact with others, and believes that this is a work environment problem.
The Kommunal union also wants the recommendations modified because it is believed that today’s preschool staff are exposed to a completely unnecessary risk of infection.

Skeptical tegnell
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell sees no reason to change the Swedish Public Health Agency’s recommendations, he tells SR.
He also believes that the routines of preschoolers around infected families may be too extensive.
– It’s a pretty tough argument from an infection control perspective to say that they should stay home because there will be so much in preschool. We must make this type of assessment that there is a risk of infection.
