In SVT's Weekend Studio, Daniel Almgren, who is the CEO of the Stockholm Marathon Group (Sweden's largest organizer of exercise events) told us that the government's restriction of public events with more than 500 participants, poses great problems for his company. Above all, it is the uncertainty about how long it lasts that he sees as problematic.
- If there is a clarity that this applies to "at least this date", then we do not need to rationalize to the participants why we need to cancel. So I see that as desirable, although that limit may need to be extended over time, he says.
Sports Minister Amanda Lind (MP) understands the opinion, but refers to the Public Health Authority's assessments.
