Coronavirus in Sweden: life in normal mode

 Sweden is the last country in the world where life continues "as usual": despite the fact that the neighboring country, Denmark and Norway, are quarantined and restricted entry across borders, the home of Hallberg-Rassy continues a normal life, which is not affected by global disasters (except that was banned gatherings of more than 50 people). For example, at the time, as Denmark and Norway completely shut down all the schools, Sweden has closed only secondary schools and colleges. However, entrepreneurs are aware of their responsibility, and at least 90% of its business in the country translated into remote work.

"The problem with the regime blocking in Denmark and Norway that it is impossible to maintain such a regime for several months: the system is just overloaded," said Anders Tegnell, chief epidemiologist of Sweden, who directs the actions of the government in resolving the crisis and advocated a strategy of mitigation. In order to avoid the same misconception that "Sweden does not accept "signature crisis" seriously," Tegnell says that the country is the crisis in control. "Sweden's approach appeals to show restraint and sense of responsibility to the public. That's how we work," he explains.Today, in Sweden there are regulations, rather a recommendation than a strict rule: people are encouraged to stay home if they are sick or are at risk according to age, to wash hands and to avoid any non-essential travel and to work from home. In this country, stoicism has always been a way of life, and the average Swede believes the decision of the authorities.

So, Sweden is living normally and is not experiencing any particular difficulties in connection with the pandemic. In addition, we know that the Hallberg-Rassy at the moment, working without a break: you can watch a video from the shipyard below.

"Follow all measures to prevent disease. We, in Sweden, there are quite strict regulations and people follow them. For example, shops and restaurants are open, but people are encouraged to keep a distance of at least 1.5 m from each other. Mode isolation raises some doubts among Swedes - however, people are encouraged to stay home, especially if you feel a sore throat, cough and high temperature. [In Sweden] prohibited the collection of more than 50 people at a time," says Magnus Rassi, managing shipyard Hallberg-Rassy.

Although we in no case, do not encourage you to act according to the example of our comrades from Sweden: each country has its strategy and we have to listen to those provisions that put our state at the legislative level, but it's nice to see "ray of light" among the disturbing news during an international disaster. From Hallberg-Rassy is the "Swedish model" - and life goes on!
