Hi! I apparently couldn't reply to this comment but it's been bothering me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27771747 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27771747 This is actually not true. Regular 'vardcentraler' had no such requirement and far from every ward at the hospitals did either. Some that did enforce visitor's restrictions (some at Lund University Hospital I had experience with) had no mask mandate but relaxed all restrictions in September. UMAS in Malmo had multiple wards not mandating any mask wearing (including blood test section and endocrine) but enforced it across the street on the women's clinic. One of my local Capio placed out some boxes of masks well into the reception area and asked people to use them, but it was by no means mandated. So what you wrote is really not at all true, and it wasn't at all highly irregular. It was just depending on what wards you were visiting, and as for vardcentraler it was a joke.
