Unlike the highest European countries, Sweden has never imposed a blockade and has made headlines for having one of the world’s consistent resident mortality rates.
The new recommendation, aimed at those who “have the opportunity to paint from home”, will remain in force until the new year.
In part, the measure aims to reduce public transport congestion and make things less difficult for those who have to physically pass to work.
The announcement came when officials noticed several positive trends in Sweden, with a minimum number of new cases, serious cases requiring thorough attention.
But the country’s Public Health Agency noted that “if our contacts fail again, there is a great threat of more in the fall.”
On Thursday, Sweden took a further step by reporting that 318 showed more COVID-19 instances, bringing the total to 80,100.
In total, 5739 deaths similar to the new coronavirus were recorded in the country.
The largest number of instances in the country have challenged it with its neighbours, questioning the same old unity among the Nordic countries.
But on Thursday, Denmark announced that it was opening its border to all Swedes, while in the past it only allowed travelers from low-infection areas.
Most Swedes in Norway are still subject to quarantine regulations and Finland only allows a must-have product from Sweden.
Swedish schools remained open to children under the age of 16 by the coronavirus pandemic and did not close cafes, bars, restaurants and maximum businesses. Masks have only been recommended for healthcare professionals.
