Melodifestivalen 2020
Melodifestivalen 2020 was the 60th edition of the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen. The competition was organised by Sveriges Television (SVT) and took place over a six-week period between 1 February and 7 March 2020.[1] The winner of the competition was The Mamas with the song "Move", who would have represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Mamas were the first band to win since 2007 and the first female act to win since 2014; this is the fourth time in the history of Melodifestivalen that Sweden was unable to send a song to the Eurovision Song Contest (and the first such occurrence since 1976), as the contest itself was cancelled on 18 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

COVID-19 considerations
SVT issued a Q&A section on its official website to address concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19.[8] On 3 March, four days before the Melodifestivalen final, Swedish radio station Sveriges Radio (SR) reported over 200 confirmed cases within Sweden.[9]
The questions and answers are related to safety measures and the number of participants. 27,000 audience members, including international audience members, were anticipated.[10] This number did not include the audience for the two dress rehearsals or any personnel. SVT stated on the Q&A page that it did not plan to establish checkpoints or other containment measures.[11]
