schema:articleBody	Sweden on Tuesday told residents in the south of the country to severely limit their social interactions after a surge in the number of cases last week and warnings that the situation is likely to get worse. Sweden's public health agency already told residents in the northern Uppsala region last week to avoid public transport and not to meet people outside their household for a period of two weeks. The same advice has now been issued in the southernmost Scania region, but for a period of three weeks. And health officials also said people should avoid meetings and cultural events, and to stay clear of indoor spaces such as shops, museums, libraries and gyms. While other countries struggling to contain a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic are introducing mandatory restrictions, the measures in Sweden are only recommendations and not legally binding. "This is a tough autumn and it will probably become worse before this is over," state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told a news conference. "Last week, the number of new cases increased by 70 percent compared to the week before, one of the largest increases we've seen," Tegnell said. Discussions were underway with other local authorities on possibly extending the advice to other parts of the country, he said. Sweden has famously refused the type of mandatory lockdowns seen elsewhere in Europe, preferring to appeal to people's sense of responsibility instead. While polls show a majority of Swedes support such an approach, the strategy also has its detractors, both at home and abroad. Some accused Sweden of playing Russian roulette with people's lives early on in the pandemic, as the death toll surged past those in neighbouring countries with stricter measures. As of Tuesday, the country of 10.3 million has recorded a total of 115,785 cases of Covid-19 and 5,918 deaths. jll/spm
