- We have very high traffic now, and very high sales - much higher than usual. So there are a lot of people in the store. So the risk groups should not go to the pharmacies, says Markus Sjöqvist, communications manager at Apoteket, to TT.

He emphasizes that orders can also be made online via proxy, if the person with the authorization first registers on-site at a physical pharmacy.

No special guidelines

The pharmacy has no special guidelines for its staff in connection with coronation times, more than trying to keep distance from their customers and remind them not to sneeze straight out.

-We have a habit of people coming to us who need medicines when they are ill. It is clear that we are trying to be prepared that even our staff may become ill to a greater extent than otherwise. As with all operations, it is important that we try to solve that risk.

The pharmacy also urges people with corona symptoms not to visit the pharmacies, but to make their purchases through agents.

-So that pharmacies are not a place where you are infected, says Markus Sjöqvist.
