  • Sweden on Thursday announced it had recorded over one million cases of Covid-19, nearly a tenth of the population, as the Nordic nation struggles to rein in a third wave of the virus. "In Sweden we now have among the highest number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Europe," Karin Tegmark Wisell, head of microbiology at Sweden's Public Health Agency, told a press conference. Tegmark Wisell noted however that there had been a downward trend in recent weeks. With 1,002,121 cases of the novel coronavirus recorded since the start of the pandemic, 9.85 percent of the population have contracted the virus, according to official data compiled by AFP. The Public Health Agency published a series of projections, with the most likely scenario showing the virus spread starting to subside in mid-May before reaching "very low levels" in July and August. The Scandinavian country has famously never imposed the type of lockdown seen elsewhere in Europe, controversially relying on mostly non-coercive measures. It has however gradually tightened restrictions since November, including a ban on alcohol sales after 8:00 pm and on public gatherings of more than eight people. Since March, cafes, bars and restaurants have also been required to shut their doors by 8:30 pm. Despite being in the midst of a third wave of cases, the rise in deaths has been much slower in recent weeks, with 156 deaths in the last seven days, which authorities say is the result of the rollout of vaccines among vulnerable groups. The total number of deaths associated with Covid-19 since the start of pandemic reached 14,158 on Thursday, putting Sweden in the middle of the pack in Europe, although well ahead of its Nordic neighbours Finland, Norway and Denmark, European mortality statistics however also show that Sweden had a lower than average excess mortality in 2020, compared to the rest of Europe. jll/pvh
