It is the reduced spread of infection that is behind the decision to reduce the regional recommendations and not extend them.
Instead, the national recommendations from the Swedish Public Health Agency now apply.
- We now see that the spread of covid-19 during a continuous period has decreased so much in the county that we can return to the national councils, says Hans Boman to the region's website.
A prerequisite for the infection spread curve to continue to decline is that residents continue to follow the Public Health Agency's advice.
The spread of infection occurs in all age groups and advice and recommendations also apply to people who have had covid-19 and those who have been vaccinated.
- Now comes a time that usually means parties and meetings to celebrate student and graduations.
This year, too, the celebration must take place in an adapted and infection-proof way so that the spread of the virus does not pick up speed again, says Hans Boman.
