In the clip, he answers whether the entry ban works and the difference between Norwegian and Swedish border restrictions.
He states that about 300 police officers work with the border guard every day.
And it is above all the Police's security-creating work that must be left behind, he says.
- We rarely have sufficient resources within the police so this is really a matter of priority.
We prioritize other activities in favor of these border controls.
Therefore, it is not barriers
When Norway has introduced strict border restrictions to prevent the spread of infection, they have set up roadblocks, in the direction of Norway, at certain passages.
No barriers are visible on the Swedish side.
- It is not possible to block roads today, mainly due to rescue services and certain types of ambulance operations, so we can not close roads.
Do random sampling
In Värmland, arrivals from Norway are referred to customs in Eda and Hån.
In addition to the checks carried out there, the police carry out random sampling in other places.
- We try to focus on the roads where we have the largest flows, quite simply, says Per Engström.
