The first advice from the infection control unit is to only gather in small groups, 6-8, people, that everyone is healthy and not to invite anyone who belongs to the risk groups. Then you have to find the right place.

- We definitely recommend that you are outdoors because it reduces the risk of infection extremely much because the amount of air itself dilutes an infection and it is easier to keep your distance, says Magnus Roberg, assistant infection control doctor in the Östergötland Region.

Continue to keep your distance

So it is outdoors that counts, and then it is important to keep the right distance.

- The distance has the greatest significance very close, then the significance decreases the further away you go, but we usually say arm's length distance, then you have a reasonable risk elimination, if you sit at arm's length distance from your neighbor, says Magnus Roberg.

Divide the crayfish before

At the traditional crayfish party, the crayfish are gathered in one or more large dishes, the same is true with the accessories. But the infection control unit believes that we should avoid ..

- There are two parts to this with infection transmission. This is partly where we cough or sneeze or snort. And the second is the contact infection, what we take in, and it is not so appropriate that we take from the same dish, so here is a recommendation that you divide the crayfish into portions even before the event.

Sing the schnapps songs with less stomach support

And then we have the knob and the knob proof. Something that usually occurs on a lobster disc.

- The schnapps is usually taken with singing, and singing is a bit problematic because you bring out large volumes of air and you have seen in driving contexts that you can spread the infection when you sing, so we recommend that you are one step more careful and maybe stands up behind the chairs when singing.

So you should sing with less stomach support?

- A little less stomach support and a little more distance than usual, says Magnus Roberg.
