STOCKHOLM, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) --- Swedish parents have been told to keep young children away from kindergartens and primary schools should a member of the child's household test positive for COVID-19, according to new recommendations from the country's Public Health Agency on Tuesday.
Chair of the Swedish Teachers' Union, Johanna Jaara Astrand, welcomed the move. "This is a very important measure," she told Swedish Television. "It will help calm teachers but also allow them to focus on the right things. They won't have to act as infection guards but can instead invest time and energy in other tasks."
