According to Tegnell, the weather situation is a decisive factor for how the corona epidemic will develop. And if all Swedes can be played in front of the audience. There is now a ban on public gatherings of more than 500 people, but many sports have progressed harder and set up events with significantly fewer participants than that.

In Austria, a maximum of five people has been banned from gathering and all restaurants have been closed down.

- What we really hope for is that it will go to summer because there are good chances that it will calm down. If it becomes a warm second half of April and May, then it may be possible (in May). But if it gets cold and rugged, it is run even in May I can imagine, says Anders Tegnell to Aftonbladet.

This means that June is the earliest start month for an all-Swedish audience.

The peak of the spread of infection in late May

In SVT's "Agenda", Joacim Rocklöv, professor of epidemiology at Umeå University, commented on the development given that Sweden is a few weeks after Italy, which is the epicenter of the spread of infection in Europe.

- We are two to four weeks after Italy. If you make model estimates, we will probably be at a level where intensive care sites in the Stockholm region will end in mid-April, and later for other regions, says Rocklöv.

- On the curve we are now in, we will see a peak in intensive care units at the end of May, when 500 to 1,000 patients would need intensive care, says Rocklöv.

Stockholm currently has 90 intensive care units but is working to increase capacity.

Message later this week

Given the rapid evolution of the virus spread and the number of deaths, the idea of ​​an all-Swedish start on April 4, with or without the audience, seems increasingly distant. All Swedish clubs will have a meeting tomorrow and a message is expected to be given on Thursday or Friday.

"Right now, April 4 is valid, but for every minute that goes, everyone realizes that it is becoming increasingly tougher to hope that we will be able to play then," says Swedish Elite Football's (Sef) general secretary Mats Enquist in Sportspegeln.

What are your options?

- The first option is to postpone the start date, because the most important thing right now is this pandemic, says Enquist.
