On 24 November, the new ban, which allows a maximum of eight people to gather in public places, will enter into force.

Now many are wondering how this will affect youth activities.

- My hope is that it remains unengraved, says Björn Eriksson, chairman of the Swedish Sports Confederation.

"Do not want a generation that is lost for movement"

Björn Eriksson believes that it is about play and training and because it is so important, he hopes that it will survive despite the new ban that was presented at the government's press conference on Monday.

- Because we do not want a generation that is lost to movement, sports movement and everything else.

We will see what the reasoning with the Public Health Agency leads to, but you look back so we have often been able to find each other.

Do you think there is a risk that you can pause all youth activities?

- I really hope that the risk is as low as possible.

Because I think it would have been deeply unfortunate.

But it is not me who decides it from an infection risk perspective, but it is they who are experts in infection control.

I simply believe that there is a risk of infection protection against the risk of young people not moving, he says and continues.

- The danger of a young generation that does not move and does not get into that type of habit is much greater than the risk of infection for that particular group.
