The new rules of conduct mean that high school students who live with adults and who have a confirmed case of covid-19, must stay home from school and work for a week, the Region of Jönköping County writes in a press release.
- We see that the spread of infection is increasing and therefore we have now accelerated the introduction of rules of conduct, says Malin Bengnér, infection control doctor in the press release.
To be tested
Infection between people in the same household is one of the most common routes of infection for covid-19, therefore a measure such as this can have a good effect on reducing the spread of infection, according to the infection control doctor.
Before returning to school or work, tests for covid-19 should be taken.
Younger children should be in preschool or school, but in other cases limit their contacts, an example is leisure activities, according to Region Jönköping County.
