UPDATE: These are the key dates to be aware of for changes in Sweden’s coronavirus rules

July 15th:

• Having already lifted its guidance against non-essential travel to some EU countries, Sweden's foreign ministry will review and potentially update its advice every two weeks this summer: July 15th, July 29th and August 12th. The foreign ministry advice against travel isn't a legally binding ban, but it has other implications, for example your travel insurance may not be valid if you travel against official guidance.

August 31st:

• This is the current end date on a ban on travel into the EU via Sweden, however it may either be extended or scrapped earlier than planned, depending on the situation. There are some exceptions to the ban, including for EU citizens, people with a Swedish residence permit who live here or are moving here, people in key roles or tourists from a list of a number of 'safe countries'.

December 31st:

• This is the current date which the Public Health Agency's general guidelines apply until, including the recommendations to maintain good hand hygiene, keep distance from others in public, work from home and avoid travelling during rush hour if you can. It's another date which isn't a fixed deadline, so whether the recommendations are scrapped sooner or kept in place for longer will depend on the state of the outbreak.
