## Resource

From June, foreign workers will need to earn 90% of the Swedish median monthly salary to get a work permit but the government's yet to present which jobs will be exempted. And: Two Swedes are self-isolating at home due to the hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship. Also: We take a look at research on how Swedish language skills and religious or cultural symbols influence Swedish employers in the recruitment process. Plus: We get the latest on the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, where Sweden's Felicia will perform in Saturday night's grand final.
