Hospital director on the use of mouth guards: "I get worried"

- I'm worried.

The most important thing is to stay at home if you have symptoms, or to keep your distance.

For a long time, we have had restrictions as an extra safety measure to prevent infection.

When there is congestion and you can not keep your distance, such as in public transport, that you also use mouth guards, says Johan Kaarme, who is director of health and medical care in the Gävleborg Region.

Mouth protection is recommended

The Gävleborg region recommends that mouth protection be used in situations where close contact, for a longer period of time in an indoor environment, cannot be avoided.

These can be, for example, workplaces where it is difficult to keep your distance.

In public transport, mouth guards should be used at all times, not just during rush hour.
