Stress in Gekås after tighter restrictions

“For restaurants that are part of a place of commerce, the number of visitors at a party can only be 1 person, unless the restaurant can be reached through its own entrances.“

This is one of the recommendations issued by the Swedish Public Health Agency before the weekend and that will apply from March 1. To get everything in place on time, Gekås management was forced to attend additional meetings this weekend, HN reports.

However, when the time came for a difficult situation, they had time to put everything in its place. The mall’s executive director, Patrik Levin, tells the newspaper:

– The only difficult thing about all this is having time to make the adjustments at this high speed. The restrictions came out on Friday night and would apply from Monday. I’m sure we haven’t missed a thing, but I can understand those who have a hard time keeping up.

You should not buy in groups.

At a press conference just over a week ago, the CEO of the Swedish Public Health Agency, Johan Carlson, also said that stores have a responsibility to ensure that their customers do not buy in groups:

– Only one person operates at a time. We shouldn’t have groups walking through stores, Carlson said.

But there is currently no active control that this does not happen in Gekås.

– I have not understood it as a beaten restriction, that we must regulate exactly how people move, but more as something that has been discussed. So far, Gekås has not decided that we should separate people, Patrik Levin tells HN.
