It is the city of Stockholm that made the order and in a month 6000 medically approved aprons will be manufactured. Leif Kananen is the Head of Department for Elderly Care in the City of Stockholm and has been part of the project group for protective equipment.
- The more durable aprons can be washed 30-40 times and then we go down into the consumption of disposable materials. Then we secure the working environment, says Leif Kananen.
20 people work on making aprons, ranging from librarians to skilled tailors. Nancy Andreassen Peters is the costume manager at Stadsteatern and is the project manager.
There is a lot of running here, is it difficult to keep a distance?
- I think we all experience the difficulties with that, but we do our best with that issue. Because it is a sharp location, we need to do this. You have to feel that you are really symptom-free before you come here, says Nancy Andreassen Peters.
