The decision to close the preschool was made yesterday in consultation with the infection control in Kronoberg County.
- Closing a preschool is the last thing you want.
It is very important to be able to stay open, says Therese Linnér, head of education at Lessebo municipality.
Several are waiting for test results
Preschool Galaxen is the municipality's largest preschool with about 90 enrolled children.
A couple of the staff have been found infected, while several are waiting for test results and others are at home in family quarantine.
- It is the total picture that makes us now have to close.
We have a confirmed societal infection.
We are now closing for a few days to be sure that we can break the infection, says Therese Linnéra.
All guardians of the children at the preschool have received direct information about what applies.
