\nWelcome to \u201cthe between days!\u201d <\/span>Mellandagarna<\/span><\/i> refers to the days between the Christmas and New Year\u2019s holidays. Children are home on school break, employees enjoy some much needed respite, and Swedish retailers offer end of the year sales. In a typical year, the streets are bustling with shoppers taking advantage of sales. This week, we\u2019ll learn how Coronavirus is impacting retail with a short article.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mellandagsrea<\/span><\/i><\/a> is a hot topic this year. Literally, it translate to “the between days sale,” but let\u2019s call it the \u201cafter Christmas sale.” Coronavirus has the Swedish Health Authority (<\/span>Folkh\u00e4lsomyndigheten<\/span><\/i>) advising against after Christmas specials this year. They point out that the typical doorbuster sales send surges of people to popular shopping streets, an event that this year would only encourage the spread of the Coronavirus. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>But organizations like <\/span>Svensk Handel<\/span><\/i> (The Swedish Trade Federation) argue that these sales simply must happen. With many retailers falling behind revenue goals from early in the year, advocates say stores must clear their inventories during mellandagsrea<\/em> to stay afloat. Next, we\u2019ll look at a news article <\/span>p\u00e5 l\u00e4ttl\u00e4st svenska <\/span><\/i>(in easy-to-read Swedish) to uncover more details on both sides of this argument.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

De st\u00e4ller inte in rean<\/i>\u00a0 \u201cThey are not cancelling the sale.\u201d<\/strong>
