The Prime Minister of Sweden, Stefan Lofven, has made the decision to implement stringent measures on the sale of alcohol at bars and restaurants – making it illegal for these to be sold after 10pm with the average daily infection rate being at 4,000 cases a day. These measures were introduced on the 20^th of November and will be in place until at least February. Any businesses that serve alcohol will have to close by 10:30pm under the new rules.
