Unclear situation for museums - the minister is unsure of what applies

The government wants to introduce vaccination certificates from the first of December.

This shall apply to all public gatherings and public events indoors with over 100 participants.

The vaccination certificate will not be a requirement for an organizer.

But for those who do not present the proof, restrictions will instead be introduced again, such as requirements for distance and audience ceilings.

Minister: "A little unsure of exactly what it looks like"

Museums have both exhibitions and different types of events and workshops.

But exactly what applies to them is unclear.

For example, if you go to museums ... is it part of this?

- I'm a little unsure of exactly what it looks like.

But it is about the fact that it is a special occasion where people are invited, come at the same time and have a seat, I guess not, says Minister of Social Affairs Lena Hallengren (S) to SVT.

Sweden's museums: "Must be accessible to all"

The Swedish Museums Association says that health comes first.

At the same time, the museums' activities must be accessible to everyone according to law, which raises questions when vaccination certificates and new restrictions are to be introduced.

- When it comes to museums, we have the Museums Act, which states that all exhibitions and other public activities at public museums must be accessible to all.

So here's a nut to crack: how to do this in the best way, says Jeanette Gustafsdotter.
