- People do not understand that it is a pandemic, so it is obvious that we need stricter rules, says Hanna Jansson who works as a nurse at the county hospital in Kalmar and sees for herself how the number of admitted covid patients is constantly increasing.

At the same time, she does not believe that the new recommendations will have any major effect on those who already ignore corona rules:

- No.

It needs to come from the government.

Recommendations are recommendations and it does not have to be followed according to many people, she says.

Careless yourself

Mohamed Zakour from Färjestaden goes to high school and will continue to conduct parts of the teaching at a distance - another of the stricter recommendations from the infection control doctor.

Stricter requirements for mouth protection he thinks are good, but sometimes he is careless when he takes the bus.

Will you start using it more now?

- Yes of course.

Because it's like you almost have to do it, he says.
