Swedish authorities are ready to introduce local quarantine measures as the number of new coronavirus cases increases. This move is a new approach to fighting the virus in Sweden, which has decided to go its own way, abandoning the lockdown.
The Daily Mail reports.
The new rules go into effect in Sweden on Monday. They will allow regional health authorities to ask citizens to avoid public places such as shopping malls, museums, libraries, swimming pools, concerts and gyms.
In addition, citizens can be asked to stay away from public transport or to avoid visiting the elderly or other risk groups. The rules will be offered as guidelines, not requirements. No fines will be imposed.
We recall, previously the Swedish government extended a temporary ban on the entry of foreigners from third countries.
In addition, Belgium has decided to tighten the quarantine to stop the increase in the incidence of the coronavirus.
Furthermore, the county of Lancashire in the UK is introducing the third phase of quarantine starting on Saturday.
