The background is high spread of infection and great pressure on healthcare.
- The situation is very serious.
Everyone must take great personal responsibility and refrain even more from meeting other people.
I know that it is difficult and that many are tired of living this way, but it is absolutely necessary that we tighten up further in the coming weeks.
We all need to take a break, even the last little thing, what we have so far considered to be the most difficult to give up, says infection control doctor Lisa Labbé Sandelin in a press release.
British mutation spreads rapidly
The British mutation of the virus dominates in the county and has been shown to spread much faster than before.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance to limit all social contacts and not meet other than those absolutely necessary for school and work.
The infection control doctor also recommends that you do not organize or participate in events such as dinners, parties or sports events.
Indoor training with others should also not take place.
Valid until 16 May
The municipalities are also recommended to keep activities that the public has access to and are not absolutely necessary for closed.
Sports, leisure and cultural activities for children excluded.
The previous recommendations for schools are extended to 16 May, as is the recommendation to always use mouth guards in public transport or at workplaces where infection has been confirmed.
The new regional recommendations apply to everyone who lives or stays in Kalmar County and is valid until 16 May.
