This is announced by Region Gotland in a press release. The background to the decision is that Gotland now has the most visitors and an extra reminder to keep your distance is needed.

- It is about protecting people's health and we believe that it is easy to forget about keeping your distance when visiting new places. We have received clear signals that people do not follow the guidelines and therefore we are now putting in these efforts already tonight, says Rikard von Zweigbergk, emergency strategist and chief of staff in Region Gotland in the press release.

Will report further

The guards will patrol Visby inner city and the port area. In addition to reminding people of the distance, guards will report congestion in restaurants and other restaurants to the region's supervisory unit.

The guards will be out in the evening until week 32.
