Residents in Stockholm, Västra Götaland and Östergötland are advised to avoid indoor environments such as museums and libraries and to refrain from concerts, sports training and matches.
The announcement came a week after the government raised the ceiling from 50 people to 300.
- I think it is absolutely right that we have 300 as a basic exception, it will still apply in places in the country where you do not see the same alarming numbers. I know that Sweden's cultural life is ready and want to take that responsibility, says Minister of Culture Amanda Lind (MP) to Kulturnyheterna.
