The Swedish Public Health Agency recommends companies that operate public transport to, among other things, provide mouth protection to travelers who do not have their own.

A big challenge, says Arne Andersson.

An estimated 35,000 people travel by public transport in Västmanland every day.

- Driving public transport and transporting people is what we are best at.

When you put extended assignments on us, it also becomes a bigger challenge.

- We compete with healthcare for protective materials, and it will already be a major logistical challenge because it is not something we do in ordinary cases.

At the same time, we want to be clear that we will never deny anyone to go with just because you do not wear a mouth guard during these times, he says.
