Prime minister Stefan Löfven believes that restaurants should close if they do not take coronasituationen seriously.
Sweden was not sufficiently prepared for the coronakrise, which has hit the country and most of the rest of the world.
this is the sound of the Saturday from the Swedish social democratic prime minister, Stefan Löfven, in an interview with Swedish SVT.
He says, moreover, that the country’s preparedness has not been good enough.
– It is obvious to all in several different areas, he says.
Sweden has distinguished itself by having a somewhat less restrictive approach to the fight against coronaviruses than many other countries – including Denmark.
Among other things, keeps most of the restaurants remain open.
the Prime minister see a trend that the guests comply with the government’s advice on how to prevent infection. He believes, however, that it must have consequences, if the restaurants do not follow the guidelines.
In most restaurants adhere to the advice of keeping distance to each other, and that it works. But there are also some sites that do not understand the seriousness or are indifferent to it.
– If you do not abide by it, so one should close, I think.
the Prime minister elaborates not exactly who must make such a closure. He does not, however, that the police can become involved.
Löfven will be in Saturday’s interview, among other things, asked whether he is sure that Sweden has chosen the right strategy – for example in relation to continuing to keep the country schools open.
– in particular, We have received many questions about the schools. We have received criticism by some. But more and more also say that it is good that we not close the schools because the children must have a place to be.
– so far, it makes sense to keep them open. But, if it is required to shut them out from a smitteperspektiv, so we are ready for it, says Löfven.
870 persons have so far recorded died in Sweden after becoming infected with the coronavirus. It is apparent from the Swedish national board of health Folkhälsomyndighetens inventory.
