COVID-19 UPDATE FOR SWEDEN
Date of update: June 9, 2020
The situation in Southern Sweden: Travel restrictions within the country have been lifted as summer vacations are approaching. People are encouraged to wash their hands, stay at home with any symptoms and to keep a 1-2 meter social distance when out in public. People who are over 70 or at high risk are told to stay home as much as possible. There is a ban on gatherings larger than 50 people. Southern Sweden never had a lot of cases and especially not the countryside where this training is located. Sweden never did shut down completely and we are not predicting this in the near future. We are very positive that this training will be carried out as planned. Here is a link to the official advice and regulations in Sweden ››
Travelling to Sweden: Until June 15 Sweden has an entry ban but it doesn't apply to all nationalities. If you are travelling from the EU, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or the UK, you'll be granted entry. There is no quarantine enforcement upon arrival.

Flying into Denmark: Copenhagen airport is the closest international airport for this training, and Denmark has applied a more strict border control. At the time of writing (June 9) this means most nationals cannot enter Denmark without special purpose even if they are just transiting to the train to Sweden. We expect this to change within a month or so, and we'll keep this page updated. It's possible to "avoid" Denmark by flying to Gothenburg instead, or if you travel by car, to take a ferry to Sweden from Germany or Poland. Latest on entering Denmark is here ››
