What does Sweden look like after the quarantine is lifted? Well, there are changes at every step.
Today I went to Sweden to check it out for you. The market in Töcksfors because I was there is adapted to the conditions of the Covid 19 virus.

Adapting to conditions

Before entering each store, there is information about the number of people who can stay at the maximum in the store. It all depends on the area on which the store is located. At every step, we can come across dispensers with disinfectant liquid, so for our own safety, we use it at will.

. Walking along the corridor between the shops, you can see information signs on the floor ordering people to keep a distance of about 1,5 m from each other. Additionally, there is a lot of information on the walls about how to take care of yourself and others

Initially, I noticed and experienced that cash payments are not honored everywhere, but only in literally a few places.

Shopping in Sweden. Products on shelves and prices

Empty shelves

You have probably seen on various forums and on Facebook what queues there were in the shops near the border during the weekend. Of course, the 300-meter long queue to the liquor store in Årjäng broke the popularity records on the Internet.
Today, however, I focused on the supermarket. I noticed the shelf was empty, the drinks were almost completely gone. Meat products were also almost entirely bought up. As for the prices, I have not noticed changes, the products are more or less at the prices from before the pandemic Of course, do not worry because they are just returning to normal and probably the polka dots will be replenished before the next attack.

. Border

When entering Sweden, there was a queue to enter Norway. The waiting time is about 8 minutes, that's how long I waited for the checks in the line.
See our material to experience it with us again.
