Above all, in any case: if you are ill, have any symptoms or feel unwell: stay at home.
Are children included in the eight-person rule?
Yes, children count.
Eight people is thus the maximum number for how many you can be together in the company.
Rules and recommendations on how to avoid the spread of infection also apply to children and young people.
If you want to meet your friends, you should call or video call instead, or be seen outside from a distance and not go by public transport if you do not have to.
Who can join?
If you can - just celebrate Christmas with those you live with.
All families look different - and therefore the Christmas celebrations will look different, said Prime Minister Löfven at the press conference, but a maximum of eight people applies to all.
Decide who will be there to celebrate Christmas and just meet them.
The fewer the better.
The benchmark is the closest circle.
It is not okay to jump between different families and Christmas celebrations, according to FHM's CEO Johan Carlson, it is too risky.
So it's not okay to celebrate Christmas with one side of the family on Christmas Eve and the other on Christmas Day.
Can the elderly and other people in the risk group take part in the Christmas celebrations?
Yes, if it can be done without risk.
This presupposes that you have tried to create a bubble, isolated yourself as best you can and that the people who are part of the company have not met a lot of people with whom they should not celebrate Christmas.
Keep a distance and be careful about hygiene everywhere - even at home.
Use rubbing alcohol.
Stay outdoors a lot and spread out indoors.
I live alone, can I go to my family?
Yes, provided you follow the guidelines.
If you live alone, you may be planning to celebrate with the family who may be living in another city.
Then do everything you can to travel safely (see
How to travel?
Further down) if you intend to travel.
How to travel if you have to?
Can you travel by train and bus?
It is best to travel individually, so for a longer trip, a car is the safest means of transport.
Walk or cycle as much as possible.
If you have to travel by train - make sure you can sit at a distance from others and always have a booked ticket.
On some routes there is the possibility to book your own compartment.
The same applies to buses, get in touch with the bus company and ensure that it does not run full buses so that it is possible to keep your distance.
Do you have to follow the rules?
Yes.
According to the government and the Swedish Public Health Agency, these are not recommendations, they are rules that must be followed.
If you break them, however, there can be no legal sanctions.
