As a result of the changed development of the spread of infection, the Swedish Public Health Agency has new recommendations for employers.

- It is sad to cancel our Christmas party so close, but the safety of our employees and users is the most important thing.

We follow the Swedish Public Health Agency's recommendations and take our responsibility as an employer.

We have to change and look forward to going to parties, meeting and socializing this summer instead, says Pär Jerfström, municipal director in Sandviken municipality, in a press release.

The party is now being moved forward and the municipalities are aiming for a party for the summer instead.
