Following the criticism: The Public Health Authority changes the information to schools

"We look forward to being clear and not about punishment," Karin Tegmark Wisell of the Public Health Authority told Ekot.

"It is the principal, that is, the municipality of municipal schools and the board of independent schools, which has employer and work environment responsibility for the schools," the authority writes.

However, in the opinion of the Public Health Authority, there is no reason for healthy students or school staff to stay at home.

“Students and staff who have traveled in areas where the corona virus spreads do not need to stay at home, but should pay attention to symptoms such as cough, difficulty breathing or fever. In the event of such symptoms, the student or staff should be at home and 1177 The care guide should be contacted by telephone. "

“In case of concerns and questions, the school can refer pupils and guardians to the medical intervention of the student health, ie the school health care system. It is responsible for infection control and hygiene at school and follows the advice of the infection control physician organization. "
