News on Corona, Schools, Kindergartens and Sports

We hope you all have had a pleasant and peaceful Easter Holiday, even though the circumstances are special. 

The spread of the COVID 19- virus will remain a massive challenge for people and businesses for a long time. 

However, there are glimmers of sun on the horizon. 

The string of tough measures that were imposed by the Government a month ago, have proven to be effective. 

There is still a lot of work to be done, but it is encouraging to see that the Government now is in a position to start lifting restrictions, little by little.

This means that:

• Child day care-centres/Kindergartens will be re-opened from 20 April, and by 27 April at the latest.    
• Primary school classes for years 1-4, and out-of-school care programmes will open from 27 April.
• Secondary schools for second- and third year pupils who are following education programmes (vocational training), will be re-opened.
• From the 20th April the ban on people staying at their holiday properties will be lifted. Hairdressers and other businesses where there is one-to-one contact will be allowed to resume operations 27th April provided that they follow the requirements for infection control measures.
• Sports activities like football and tennis can be played outdoor on public grounds (providing it is carried out in groups of maximum five persons, that there is a two-meter distance between the players, and that your skin doesn´t touch the ball).
