Today, the government and the Swedish Public Health Agency presented new, stricter coronary restrictions.
Among other things, they chose to further tighten the restrictions in the restaurant and restaurant industry.
The maximum number of restaurant parties is reduced from eight to four people, and alcohol sales are already banned at 20 instead of 22 as before.
- I have no opinions about the maximum number, we can handle that.
But to further reduce the alcohol sales time, I do not understand what they expect it to have for effect, not least for us in the countryside.
We have no partying, the 22-rule has already put a stop to that, says Johan Rennemark, restaurateur in Karlskrona.
Instead, he believes that the new border will have other consequences.
- We have lost 80-85 percent of sales since the 22-rule came, and now we live a lot on take-away.
Now we will no longer be able to offer it in full, if we are forced to close down already at 20.
"Shut us down!"
Pär Hjalmarsson, who among other things runs Elsa's small restaurant, appeals to the government.
- Shut us down!
As it is now, layoffs and adjustment support do not help, we go back sharply every month.
If we are shut down, like many others, the state can go in and take our costs.
Then maybe we can get out of this, he says.
