Already this week, the food unit in Jönköping Municipality has carried out checks on restaurants and pubs. Now when it is Easter and when it is also getting warmer days in Jönköping, several people are taking the opportunity to stay at outdoor cafés. And now the food unit will also carry out checks at several different taverns and restaurants during the Easter weekend.

- Many have done well, but there are those we have had to follow up to see that they have taken action, says Johanna Hänninen, head of the food unit in Jönköping Municipality.

Businesses may be closed

If the inspections carried out by the food unit do not result in enough operations being taken, a general ban on keeping open may come into force.

- We have an opportunity to keep operations open if everyone follows these rules, but if they are not followed, there can be more general prohibitions and we want to avoid that, says Johanna Hänninen.

But how should I think when there is no ban on visiting pubs?

- I think you should think that you can visit the local taverns and restaurants but that you are constantly thinking about taking a responsibility not to be too close to one another so that you do not infect each other.

So if I want to go to a local pub but there are a lot of people staying there, how should I think?

- Then you should not go there and instead contact the food unit and we will check up on that tavern, says Johanna Hänninen.
