Sport promotes health and is an important part of everyday life for children and young people. After a dialogue with the National Sports Federation and various sports federations; the Public Health Agency changes the general guidelines and makes it clear that match games in children's and youth sports can be conducted under certain conditions: 1) only healthy; symptom-free people participate in the activities; 2) there are good opportunities to wash your hands and 3) crowding between people is avoided.

Swedish Public Health Agency gives different advices to businesses. Sports associations should hold workouts and other sports activities outdoors; postpone matches; training matches; competitions and cups and limit the number of spectators. Non-profit associations should postpone their annual general meetings or the like; if those meetings require members to meet in one place. The number of passengers on public and other forms of transport should be limited. Employers should ensure that their personnel and visitors maintain social distance; that employees work from home and avoid unnecessary travel. Shops; shopping centres and malls should limit the number of customers allowed in at any one time. They should also introduce alternatives to queues for cash registers; or stipulate the distance customers should maintain from each other.

The Swedish Public Health Agency is now opening up so that even older young people born in 2002 or later can participate in organized sports and leisure activities; both indoors and outdoors. The assessment is that the positive aspects of children and young people's physical activity outweigh and therefore a change is made in the general guidelines. The decided change will take effect on 6 February. UPDATE March 1: No competition below the elite level will be allowed. The exception for single matches for children born in 2005 and later is removed.

The National Agency for Education has decided to cancel all national tests during the period from 1 January 2021 and the rest of the spring; up to and including 30 June 2021. The decision applies to all school forms where national tests are conducted with the exception of the test in year 3 in compulsory school and the Sami school and year 4 in the special school. For municipal adults (SFI and upper secondary level); it also applies that the tests that have already been ordered and have a continued period of use will not be used during the rest of the spring; until 30 June 2021. Organizing a national test requires careful planning on the part of the school. Many schools are currently struggling and have to plan their activities from day to day. In this situation; the national test risks putting too much strain on the school organization. National tests may mean that schools need to gather larger groups of students in one and the same room; which can increase the risk of the spread of infection.

From 14 December; stricter national regulations and general guidelines on everyone's responsibility to prevent covid-19 infection apply. At the same time; the local general councils that apply in the regions are repealed. Everyone in society; both individuals and those responsible for operations; has an obligation to take measures to prevent the spread of infection. - Limit your socializing to a smaller circle: The risk of getting; and spreading covid-19 further; increases the more people you meet. Therefore; it is important to limit the number of meetings even during the major holidays and to make adjustments. Keeping your distance; meeting outdoors or digitally reduces the risk of spreading the infection. New close contacts should be limited. Socializing should only take place in a small circle. You should also avoid joining several different circuits. The fewer that are collected; the better. It is also important to avoid activities and environments that involve an increased risk of infection; for example all situations where congestion may occur. - Travel safely: Any travel should take place in a way that minimizes the risk of spreading the infection. Remember to limit public transport as much as possible. Avoid making new contacts during the trip and at the destination; in addition to the smaller circle that you hang out with. You should also ensure that you can isolate yourself or get home in an infection-proof way if you develop symptoms of covid-19. Plan your trip so that you can choose a seat reservation; choose other means of travel than public transport and public transport where a seat ticket is not offered. In the first place; you should choose other ways of transporting yourself; such as walking; cycling or taking your own car. Avoid departures with congestion. - Everyone has a responsibility to protect people in risk groups from infection: Elderly people and people belonging to other risk groups are at higher risk for serious illness. It is therefore important that both people in the risk group and people in their environment ensure that meetings can take place in a safe manner. Here; too; it is important to limit the number of contacts; to keep a distance; to follow the guidelines for hygiene and to ensure that those who show the least symptoms of covid-19 refrain from meeting. As long as no ban has been introduced; visits to special housing for the elderly may be made. This must be done in a safe manner and in accordance with the accommodation's visiting routines. Check with the business or your municipality which guidelines apply.
