Handling Public Well-being During the COVID-19 Crisis: Empirical Study With Representatives From Municipalities in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the public's health and well-being due to infections and restrictions imposed during the crisis. Recreational activities are important for the public's well-being; however, the public's safety from the COVID-19 virus is the top priority. Sweden, a country with a decentralized public health and welfare system, relied on less stringent approaches for handling the crisis. The limited restrictions in Sweden allowed recreational activities to take place despite the pandemic, which could be attributed to considerations for the public's well-being.

Objective

The objective of this study was to investigate municipal approaches for handling and supporting recreational activities during the COVID-19 crisis.
