Logic to many, new in Sweden. Despite the Public Health Authority's (Fhm) earlier denial that children are #COVID19 spreaders, now the new official recommendation is they do not go to school if some other family member is Corona-ill. For #Sweden this is almost a revolution.

About me

In 2006 I left my family, friends and the security of a relatively steady editorial job in the Netherlands to move to Sweden, for love. A heartbreak later I’m still around – having crisscrossed like crazy through my new land to make a travel guide book, adding a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, becoming a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media. From Sweden I pop across the Baltic Sea, often to Poland where I sometimes live and work from.
