Sweden will impose a curfew on hospitality venues as Covid-19 cases rise

From CNN's Niamh Kennedy

Sweden announced the country will implement an 11 p.m. curfew on hospitality venues, as Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson warned of a "record high spread" of Covid-19 infections in the country.   

The curfew was announced today and will go into effect starting Wednesday.

From Jan. 12, all cafes, bars and restaurants in the country will have to close at 11 p.m. and a maximum of eight people will be allowed to eat together for seated service. Adults were advised to limit their close contacts indoors by refraining from larger dinners and parties at home, although a specific number of "close contacts" was not given by officials. 

Universities and other higher education establishments in the country have been advised by the government to partially carry out remote learning. Practical assessments such as examinations are to be conducted on site with risk reducing measures.   

These follow measures previously announced by the Swedish government on Dec. 23, advising all people who can to work from home. Limits were also placed on indoor public events, requiring people attending indoor events over 20 people to sit in groups of no more than eight, and people attending events of over 500 people must display a Covid-19 vaccination certificate to attend. 

Sweden recorded at least 17,376 daily coronavirus cases on Jan. 6, according to the latest data from the public health institute's dashboard.
