The infection situation is now so serious that the Public Health Agency on Monday sent a petition to the Ministry of Social Affairs to ask the government to wait with a number of changes in the so-called restriction ordinance.

These are, for example, the number of participants for public gatherings and public events such as football matches, theater performances and concerts.

The government has proposed that the current audience ceiling of eight people should be able to be adapted according to whether the event is indoors or outdoors and whether there are designated seats or not.

In its response to the consultation in February, FHM proposed that the changes would take effect on 11 April, if the infection situation allows it.

But now the authority is backing down on the date.

Changes the date

The changes are not possible to implement on April 11, but should be postponed for a while, FHM writes in its request.

Now the assessment is made instead that the changes can take effect at the turn of the month April / May.

FHM therefore requests that the date be changed to 3 May.

It is now up to the government to decide whether to follow FHM's call and postpone implementation.

However, the government often listens to its expert authority.

The earlier announcement of some relief on 11 April has made cultural, entertainment and sports activities hope to be able to start running again, even if it would be on a small, infection-proof scale.

For example, it was proposed that indoor events with a seated audience could have an audience of a maximum of 50 people and outdoor events a maximum of 100 participants.

The idea is that the ceilings will then be gradually raised when the infection situation improves.

Liseberg and Grönan

Another part of the proposal that FHM now wants the government to push for is that Gröna Lund and Liseberg should be covered by the same rules as other amusement parks.

Today, in the legal sense, they are so-called permanent amusement rides and can let in a maximum of eight people.

But from April 11, according to the proposal, they could open if each visitor gets 20 square meters to move on.

As recently as Monday, Gröna Lund announced that they aim to open on May 1 after being closed for more than a year.

According to information to TT, FHM's request also means that the regulations that expire on April 11 will probably remain.

These include the ban on selling alcohol in the pub after 8 pm, the maximum number of 500 people in shops and gyms and that everyone is encouraged to shop alone.
