The main change is a limit of 10 people instead of the previous 20.<\/p>\n<h4>All organised social activities for older people temporarily closed&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>In light of the government's tightened measures, a decision has been made to temporarily close all organised group activities in the social programme for older people. Hraunsel will, however, remain open; staff will be present, and you are welcome to come for informal socialising. All public health guidelines must be followed.<\/p>\n<h4>Cafeterias closed, but food can be delivered to your home.<\/h4>\n<p>The canteens at Hjallabraut and S\u00f3lvangsvegur have been closed and arrangements have been made to allow people to have food delivered to their homes. Orders can be placed by telephoning 585-5500 or by emailing the address. <a href=\"mailto:herdish@hafnarfjordur.is\">herdish@hafnarfjordur.is<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Reduced service at 14 South Street<\/h4>\n<p>Due to these tightened measures, it is inevitable that services at 14 Su\u00f0urgata will be cut, where Geitungar, an employment scheme for disabled people, is based. Vinaskj\u00f3l, a leisure facility for secondary school students on the vocational track, and Kletturinn, a leisure facility for primary school children. These service reductions are unavoidable in order to comply with the instructions of the authorities. All parties concerned will be notified as soon as it is possible to resume operations as normal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Wasps' working hours, which have been 8 am\u20135 pm, will be 8 am\u201312 pm.<\/li>\n<li>The Vinaskj\u00f3l will be open from 1 pm to 4 pm, instead of 12 pm to 5 pm as has been the case.<\/li>\n<li>The rock will be open from 13:00 to 16:00, but not until 17:00 as has been the case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>All other services of the Department of Family and Child Affairs remain uninterrupted.&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>All other regular services of the Family and Child Services Department will remain uninterrupted, including home services, support services, services in residential units, in homes and in short-term care. Operations at the Training Centre at B\u00e6jarhraun and at L\u00e6k will be adjusted to the tightened measures.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that the Minister of Health has urged people to limit their social interactions and see as few people as possible. A mask requirement is in place for the service mentioned above, distancing rules must be respected, and great emphasis is placed on hygiene and infection control. The Family and Child Affairs Department works according to clear procedures and is in close cooperation with the municipality's emergency management and the Civil Protection Authority for the capital region.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hertar s\u00f3ttvarnar\u00e1\u00f0stafanir stj\u00f3rnvalda t\u00f3ku gildi \u00ed g\u00e6r, laugardaginn 31. okt\u00f3ber.
