In Region Kalmar County, the infection control doctor Lisa Labbé Sandelin continues to advise against matches and competitive sports for children and young people, even those born in 2002 and later, until May 16, local media write.

"Compared to training, matches and competitions mean an increased risk of infection spreading because children from different teams are mixed.

Carpooling to and from the match or competition and the opportunity for parents and officials to gather also poses risks of the spread of infection ", says Lisa Labbé Sandelin in a press release, states Dagens Vimmerby.

At the moment, it is recommended that sports facilities be kept open only for training activities for children and young people born in 2002 or later.
