SVT Sport asked the Swedish Public Health Agency yesterday why private facilities can be kept open.
- The private actors' halls are counted as a workplace and they have their own responsibility, said Karin Tegmark Wisell at FHMunder Tuesday's press conference.
Janne Sahlström, CEO of Enskede Rackethall, talks about the challenge of staying open despite the pandemic.
- I spend almost all my waking hours thinking about how we should do.
Of course, we do not want to close the hall, partly for the sake of the staff and the company, but I, who is basically a sports teacher, know how important it is that we can move - but in a safe way, he says.
So why do you choose to be open?
- Because we fulfill an important societal function.
Customers come every day to thank us for being open.
But I understand at the same time that if you only talk about the spread of infection, it is easier to close, but it is a little bigger than that.
I think there will be huge consequences if you can not train.
"At home and working and feeling worse"
Sahlström talks about a number of different measures that have been taken.
- We try to get people to move in an infectious way.
I sit at home and work to take my responsibility and I feel worse, he says and continues:
- I frankly think it's shitty.
Yesterday, an infection control doctor said that you should not play paddle.
But I really think it's shitty because I feel a responsibility to everyone.
