Coronavirus: Per capita death rate in Sweden 'very high'Close
New data suggests that Sweden might have one of the highest Covid-19 deaths-per-capita rate in Europe.

Tsemaye Opubor, a journalist based in Stockholm, says the number of deaths from the coronavirus are "really high" and could "perhaps be attributed to age".

Sweden’s Covid-19 experiment is over.

After a late autumn surge in infections led to rising hospitalizations and deaths, the government has abandoned its attempt—unique among Western nations—to combat the pandemic through voluntary measures.

Like other Europeans, Swedes are now heading into the winter facing restrictions ranging from a ban on large gatherings to curbs on alcohol sales and school closures—all aimed at preventing the country’s health system from being swamped by patients and capping what is already among the highest per capita death tolls in the world.
