Officials in Halmstad municipality recently forced a teacher to remove their mask and banned the use of all forms of PPE in schools. And while “the municipality eventually backed down”, other “examples of mask bans keep popping up in Sweden”, according to an article on The Conversation by two Swedish academics.
These “local mask bans” are a “logical product of nine months of consistent anti-mask statements by the Swedish state”, write Tine Walravens, assistant professor in international economics at the Copenhagen Business School, and Paul O’Shea, senior lecturer in South-East Asian Studies at Lund University.
