From 15 October, sports and cultural events are expected to be held with an audience of up to 500 people. The government presented an exception during the day, but the requirement is that the audience should sit down and that there should be a meter distance between the people. For Kulturhuset Spira, which is currently running its concerts and performances, including Camera, for 50 people per performance, today's message means a lot. - We have really been waiting for this and my first reaction was to take the measuring tape and go down to the theater salon to measure how many we can get in, says Ulrika Josefsson, acting operations manager at Spira. - We get about twice as many in the salon and it is very gratifying, even though there has actually been a high mood both among the audience and on stage with 50 people. For Camera, there will now be 17 performances with just over 100 in the salon. Does this affect the tough economic situation you have? - No, it really does not, but for the culture it feels fun and important. "Will be a big difference" Hallby handball had a large and loyal audience in the Sports Hall during the team's last season. -It is positive for us who have a hall with 1500 seats. In any case, we can offer our season card holders and partners to come, so there will still be some atmosphere. It makes a difference to only be able to take in 50. Then, of course, there is a difference to a packed hall, says Johan Storm who is chairman of Hallby handball. It does not mean so much financially, perhaps more that we can offer more to come. HV71 hopes to get more already October 8 - The message is a first step in the right direction, we hope it means that we can play in front of 500 people from 15/10, we also look at what the restaurant team says, if we can have people in lodges and restaurant already from the eighth of October, then the situation would be a little better for us, says Agne Bengtsson who is club director for HV71 -Then we hope that they take further steps quite quickly to increase the opportunities for audiences. At the same time, we must make sure that we really follow the infection control rules so that we take our responsibility, and not just pour on, says Agne Bengtsson
