How to protect yourself and others from being infected with Covid-19 – Public Health Agency’s website

• Follow any guidelines given by the housing provider.
   
• If you live in a shared apartment or corridor, make a Covid-plan together with your housemates that does not contradict any guidelines set by the housing provider or any Swedish authority.
   
• If one of your housemates is sick, be a friend and ask if you can help them with anything, for example grocery shopping and other practical matters.
   
• If one of your housemates has tested positive for Covid-19 and you have been in close contact with them, you may need to get tested as well. If you have any symptoms, even mild ones, you should get tested. If you don't have symptoms, you may still be asked to get tested by a healthcare provider depending on the specific situation.
