On Tuesday, Minister of Sports Amanda Lind opened so that audiences could be allowed already for the Allsvenskan premiere. Later in the day, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell rejected the idea in SVT’s corona special. – I think they have over-interpreted an answer we have given a referral, he says.
It was a day of jubilation for many football clubs on Tuesday when Minister of Sports Amanda Lind opened to the public already for the Allsvenskan premiere in April.
– The Swedish Public Health Agency has proposed a first step with low audience levels, but more than the current eight-person limit, different depending on whether it is a seated audience or outdoors. There, the Swedish Public Health Agency proposes that a first step can be taken on 11 April if the infection situation does not worsen, she said in an interview with GP.
But now the clubs seem to be able to put the cheers in their throats. In SVT’s corona special later on Tuesday evening, Anders Tegnell said that they overinterpreted the consultation response given by the Public Health Agency.
– I think they have over-interpreted an answer we have given a referral when it comes to how to be able to have more audiences in the stands at events in general. Then we have divided it all into a staircase with different steps. And provided that the spread of infection decreases considerably, one can in certain circumstances imagine having an audience. But in the first place, we want to see that the spread of infection drops properly before we get there, he says in the broadcast.
Given that the spread of infection is still high, the issue is not yet relevant.
– Today it is not conceivable. Now we still have a high spread of infection that we really need to be helped to keep down. Then it is not relevant with that type of event, it entails too great a risk.
