Continued spread of infection stops the New Year celebrations in Västerås

On Friday, the event, which previously attracted several thousand people, was to be prepared.

The celebration would take place around noon on New Year's Eve.

But now it's set.

- We have had continuous contact with the authorities to reconcile with them and see that the spread of infection has not decreased, Alf Westerdahl explains.

A digital show is not relevant.

- The experience is more to be in place and there is a risk that people will still come then, says Alf Westerdahl.
