Sweden’s government confirms most Covid restrictions will be lifted next week
Sweden's government and Public Health Agency confirmed
that it will definitely go ahead with the fourth and penultimate stage of its
re-opening plan next week, with a firm warning for un-vaccinated people.
“Many people have made big sacrifices in their daily
life. Now it is time for the Swedish people to meet again,” said Health
Minister Lena Hallengren at a press conference. “From September 29th, we are
taking a big step towards the life we had before the pandemic.”
She was joined by Culture Minister Amanda Lind and the
Public Health Agency’s general director Johan Carlson, who said that compared
to the agency’s previous forecasts, the current levels of infection were in
line with “the lowest possible curve”.
The ministers confirmed that Sweden would definitely go
ahead with previously announced changes from September 29th, including the
removal of audience limits at all public events, the removal of all remaining
restrictions for restaurants and bars, and the removal of the Public Health
Agency’s recommendations for the general public such as to work from home if
possible
