The Scandinavian state that in the first phase of the pandemic became known for access without isolation to the pandemic is now facing an increase in the number of infections, beyond official forecasts.
The Public Health Agency has said it expects the peak of the second wave to be reached in mid-December, while Thursday the total figure of the victims went to over 7 thousand.
Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, during a press conference, said closing high schools would help slow the spread of the virus, the Daily Mail writes.
“I fully understand that this is not easy, but in the current situation, it is necessary”, he said.
Lofven also urged students not to have contact with other students during their stay away from school. I believe you're smart and you realize this is not a long Christmas break. It's not the green light for being with friends”, he added.
After a decline in fatal summer cases, Sweden in recent weeks has registered the highest death rates, with an average of 60 deaths a day this week.
However, this figure is less than April's level, when the daily average of Coronavirus victims was 100.
