- The children should be in school as far as possible, that is our starting point, says Mona Kanaan (S), chair of the primary school board in Eskilstuna. 

She says that the principals have great responsibility and have the authority to find solutions at the school, but that the final decision to close a school is made by the board.

At Djurgårdsskolan in Eskilstuna, several cases of covid-19 have been found and during Monday, students were sent home.

However, the school will receive the students again already on Tuesday.

When is the decision to close a school actually made?
