Göteborgs stad has stated that it cannot currently say exactly when the sheep house will open to visitors again. This uncertainty leaves the public without a clear timeline for when access will resume. The city emphasizes that it is important for both the ewes and lambs to be undisturbed in the beginning, which is a key factor in the closure.
During fine weather, the gates are open so you can see the sheep and lambs from a distance, allowing some limited viewing without direct interaction. However, the specific reasons for keeping the sheep house closed beyond general animal welfare concerns have not been detailed. It is also unclear whether there are any health or safety issues affecting the closure or how long the sheep and lambs need to remain undisturbed.
The criteria that will determine when the sheep house can reopen have not been publicly disclosed.
