The ice hockey league SHL is one of the leagues where the organizers need to use vaccination certificates to be able to have full stands in the future as well.
They have been reached by the information that players and leaders do not have to show it.
- We are still at a high vaccination rate, but the information we have today is that players, leaders and referees are not included in that part.
We naturally adapt to the regulations, says sports director Johan Hemlin to SVT Sport and continues:
- We work quite intensively to find out all the details before 1 December.
How high is your vaccination rate?
- Very high.
The most recent measurement was about 93 percent, but that was before the start of the series, says Hemlin.
This is how Amanda Lind, Minister of Culture and Democracy with responsibility for sports issues, commented on the decision to introduce vaccination certificates yesterday:
- Being able to use vaccination certificates as an alternative to new restrictions is something the government has prepared for a long time.
