Sweden’s government is recommending wearing face masks on public transport during the rush hour, reversing its earlier Covid guidance.

It will also cut from the current eight to four per table the number of people sitting together in restaurants, and ban alcohol sales after 20:00.

PM Stefan Löfven unveiled the measures, which will take effect soon.

Sweden had previously been one of a few nations not to recommend masks in public outside of healthcare settings.

This is despite strong recommendations given by the World Health Organization (WHO).
