When you write that a wolf has been shot in Västmanland, why not mention that it is only western Västmanland where the hunt is ongoing?

Hello,
Why doesn’t FHM come out with simpler recommendations, such as keep your distance, wear a mask in crowded environments, now that there are so many different viruses. Should be obvious, but not something you see “in town”?
Dennis Thorberg
They have some recommendations, here can you see the ones that relate to covid.
Apart from vaccination, they are quite general and should work well to reduce the spread of other infections as well.
