Despite the recommendation: Umeå theater plays performance for 900 people

In the afternoon, the Public Health Authority wrote a request to the government that meetings with more than 500 people should not be held until further notice. Finance Minister Per Bolund (MP) told Sweden's Radio Studio one that the government will follow the line of the Public Health Authority, and the government confirmed this at a press conference in the evening.

Popular actress Maria Lundquist has long had a performance booked for Wednesday night at the Idunteatern in Umeå. During the day, she and producer Kristoffer Hellström have been thinking about how to do it. The cultural news reaches her shortly before the performance begins, before the government's press conference has taken place.

- It's fucking hard. We have had a crisis meeting and consulted with both the municipality and with infection control doctors. After much over and over we decided to drive for those who have come here, there are many rest says Maria Lundquist before she needs to go.

Several other organizers also hold their performances as planned during Wednesday, including Cirkus and Berwaldhallen in Stockholm.
