Borås keeps schools open as normal during outbreak
Key Points
  • Schools and preschools remain open as usual.
  • Sick children must stay home; healthy children attend regardless of travel history.
  • Infected guardians should keep children home from preschool.

Guardians who suspect they themselves are infected with COVID-19 should keep their children home from preschool to limit potential spread, according to Borås stad. All compulsory school students have mandatory attendance and are expected to be in school, with valid exceptions only for illness or if a student has been assessed at risk of infection after contact with an infected individual and received home quarantine instructions from the Public Health Agency. Travelers who have visited affected countries and develop symptoms such as cough, difficulty breathing, and fever should call 1177 for guidance.

General hygiene recommendations include washing hands, sneezing and coughing into the elbow, and staying home if sick.
