The amendment to the ordinance, which is based on the Public Order Act, will enter into force on 24 November and be valid for four weeks.
For team sports and other organizers of sporting events, today's announcement means that a crowd stop will be introduced in practice.
As recently as 1 November, it was allowed to admit 300 seated spectators at sporting events in Sweden, but due to a continued high spread of infection, several regions have maintained the previous maximum limit of 50 people in the audience.
When it comes to elite sports and training, there was no direct response from the Public Health Agency.
- We will get this for consultation and review the balance between training and competition in the future.
We have had this question up before and hope to be able to come up with an answer soon, says Johan Carlsson, Director General of the Swedish Public Health Agency.
