Since the end of March international media has reported repeatedly about the Swedish approach to Covid-19. Even if the Swedish government’s response is different than most ther countries it’s not as if life goes on as normal. Secondary schools, universities and other education for adults are only done digitally. School social workers keep in touch with pupils through videocalls and phone but also physically if necessary.
