- It is difficult to get times.

Six employees have not been able to test themselves so far and have not had time until Monday.

This means that we must continue to keep the school closed until Wednesday and then we hope to have received the test results, says Lena Sandgren Swartz, school principal in Torsås municipality.

It was on Wednesday that the education committee in Torsås made the decision to close the preschool after half of the staff was ill.

Today came the news that the school will be closed for a few more days - until Wednesday 2 December.

- Preschool is an important place and a closure makes it for many parents so we hope not to keep it closed longer than that.

But we must first know that the staff is not infected with corona, she says.

The preschool has a total of 14 regular staff and only two are considered healthy at the moment, according to information from the municipality.

To date, three staff members have been found to be corona infected.

Maria Karlsson, principal at the preschools in Torsås municipality, says that there was no choice.

With so many staff missing, the Eklövet preschool cannot be open.
