In Eskilstuna, politicians took it safe before the uncertain and chose to reduce the number of members during Thursday's municipal council meeting.

According to Ann-Sofie Wågström (S), the chair of the municipal council, this is a measure taken to prevent politicians from sitting too close to each other.

During the meeting, every other seat in the council hall was empty so that the members did not sit right next to each other.

Oxelösund has set

But it is not only in Eskilstuna that the corona virus affects the elected people. In Oxelösund they have chosen to completely cancel the next meeting with the municipal council, while in Katrineholm similar measures have been taken as in Eskilstuna.
