Currently in Sweden

Here are cases reported by the media and other sources during the day, they are ahead of the daily updates from Johns Hopkins on which the rest of the article is based.

In the afternoon of March 11, the first death in Sweden was reported. This applies to an elderly person with underlying illness in Stockholm County.

According to the recommendation of the Public Health Authority at this time, only persons in need of care or who are already admitted to hospitals with coronavirus symptoms should be tested. This has a significant impact on the figures for the number of cases in Sweden. The following figures are thus an under-reporting of the actual number of cases and show only those that have been tested - not how many have the corona virus.

...
March 16th:

The Swedish parliament will cut the number of members present in the chamber from 349 to only 55. The decision has been agreed to by all parties, and means that from March 18th until the end of the month the parties will be represented by: 16 Social Democrat MPs, 11 Moderate MPs, 10 Sweden Democrat MPs, five Centre Party MPs, four Left Party MPs and three each for the Christian Democrats, Liberals and Greens.

The move is meant to ensure that parliament is able to continue to operate even if a large number of MPs were to fall ill. The decision currently applies until March 30th but can be extended. MPs not present during votes will still be working, but will perform their duties in other ways, said the speaker of parliament.

20 people have now died of the coronavirus in Sweden

A total of 1,746 people are now infected with the coronavirus in Sweden and 20 people have died, according to the latest public health statistics. At the same time, the number of people receiving intensive care is increasing.

During Saturday morning, 61 people were treated in intensive care throughout the country's hospitals, compared to 50 people during Friday...

While China, Italy, Western Europe, Iran and South Korea have generated the most headlines for the explosion in cases, Scandinavia — Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Denmark — is battling an unmatched surge. As of March 22, Iceland, with a population of 350,000, has recorded 568 cases; Norway, with a population of 5.3 million, has had 2,257 cases; Denmark, with a population of 5.6 million, has had 1,512 cases; and Sweden, with a population of 10 million, has had 1,934 cases. Together, the four countries, with a population of 21.3 million — that of Florida — had, as of Saturday, reported a total of 6,271 cases. That’s more than double America’s current per capita rate of infection, and three times that of China. If one compares individual countries, a citizen of Iceland has a 60 percent higher chance of contracting the virus than a counterpart from Italy, according to the latest rates.

Sweden is far from unaffected by the coronavirus epidemic, with markets in free fall, mass unemployment on the horizon, and the health services under growing pressure. As of Tuesday, a total of 36 Swedes have died after contracting the novel coronavirus and there are more than 2,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, although the real number is not known since testing is generally limited to hospital patients and elderly home residents who show symptoms of COVID-19. Moreover, the Public Health Agency has refused to make public risk assessments or prediction models for the spread of the virus.

While its Nordic neighbours have closed all schools and shops to fight the spread of coronavirus, Sweden’s latest decree in the crisis has been to impose table service-only in restaurants.

Sweden had 2,510 confirmed cases and 42 deaths from Covid-19 by Wednesday, though the real number of infected is likely higher after a shift in testing rules to focus on at-risk groups.

Unlike neighbouring Norway, Denmark and Finland, Sweden’s government has adopted a looser, more voluntary approach to the growing crisis.

Gatherings of up to 500 people are still permitted and only university and higher education have moved teaching online.

Sweden Bans Groups Larger Than 50 In Its First Major Coronavirus Crackdown
March 27, 20201:10 PM ET

Sweden's prime minister announced Friday that public gatherings of more than 50 people will be banned as of Sunday, with violators subject to fines or even imprisonment.

The ban is much tighter than the country's previous restriction on groups over 500, but looser than limits imposed elsewhere in Europe. It amounts to a major crackdown in a country that has otherwise become known for its lenient approach to coronavirus management.

While neighboring Denmark was one of the first European countries after Italy to announce it would close all public schools and daycare centers, Sweden's institutions remain open. The country also hasn't followed its Scandinavian neighbors' lead in shutting down bars, restaurants, sports practices or national borders...

...As of Friday, Sweden had more than 3,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 92 deaths. Meanwhile, Denmark, with about half the population, had 2,010 cases and 52 deaths. A large number of cases in both countries is believed to be invisible due to limited testing...

By Saturday, Norway, population 5.3 million, had more than 3,770 coronavirus cases and 19 deaths; Denmark, population 5.6 million, reported 2,200 cases and 52 deaths; Sweden, with 10.12 million people, recorded more than 3,060 cases and 105 deaths.
...
There is no evidence that Swedes are underplaying the enormity of the disease rampaging across the globe. The country’s leader and health officials have stressed hand washing, social distancing and protecting people over the age of 70 by limiting contact with them.

But peer into any cafe in the capital, Stockholm, and groups of two or more people can be seen casually dining and enjoying cappuccinos. Playgrounds are full of running, screaming children. Restaurants, gyms, malls and ski slopes have thinned out but are still in use.

The state epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, said in an interview that Sweden’s strategy is based on science and boiled down to this: “We are trying to slow the spread enough so that we can deal with the patients coming in.”

...
Sweden’s approach appeals to the public’s self-restraint and sense of responsibility, Mr. Tegnell said. “That’s the way we work in Sweden. Our whole system for communicable disease control is based on voluntary action. The immunization system is completely voluntary and there is 98 percent coverage,” he explained.

That approach is now sparking concerns among public health officials as coronavirus cases mount across Scandinavia — Sweden alone had 3,447 reported cases as of Sunday, with 102 deaths. At stake is also Scandinavia’s reputation as a leader and trendsetter in public health — a status progressives in America frequently cite as an example. Sweden’s deputy state epidemiologist, Anders Wallensten, has argued that strategies to battle the virus can vary between nations depending, among other factors, on “what stage a country is in with regards to the epidemic.”
