Sports owner: "Why do we have to take all the shots?"

The football season is being discussed in many places right now. The state epidemic has repeatedly stressed that it is not the players on the pitch that pose the greatest risk of spreading infection.

- You have to think about the whole, what it can mean for bars and the restaurant business. We know that in this type of interaction at bars and restaurants, the spread of infection has been quite extensive on several occasions. So we see this as an absolute risk situation, Tegnell tells SVT Sport.

Marcus Svensson, co-owner of Glenn Sportsbar, is disappointed that sports bars are singled out as a reason why football can't get started.

- I wanted to ask that question to the Environmental Administration and to Anders Tegnell. Why do we have to take all the shots? Why does the restaurant and sports bars have to take all the shots? We have a regulatory framework, we do not follow it, we will have to close. Why are you not at major department stores and grocery stores where people are full every weekend?

Svensson says that you are following all the restrictions of the Public Health Authority and believes that you will continue with it even if, for example, the Allsvenskan starts.

- Although more people come, you have to follow the regulations. In that case, you have to put a guard in the door just as other businesses and industries do, he says.

Rasmus Forsström, bar owner at Restaurant Olivedal in Gothenburg, agrees.

- We have the restrictions we have to assume. If we have a quiz or it is all Swedish football it makes no difference to our business. We take in as many as we can without it being crowded.
