Swedish epidemiologist relates what can happen in the second wave of coronobrus

“Suedia may face local explosions, but not a second major wave of cases with COVID-19 in autumn, such as hospitals flooded several months ago”.

So said Sweden's renowned epidemiologist, reports “Reuters”.

Sweden has been one of the most important countries in Europe's fight against the new coronary, holding businesses, restaurants and schools open throughout the pandemic, not recommending the use of facial masks, which remain a rare sight on the streets of the city.

By air, Sweden has suffered many times more deaths from COVID-19 than its neighbours, although not as many as the most hit countries in Europe, such as Belgium, Spain and Britain.

New cases, hospital hospitalizations and mortality have declined significantly over the past two months.

With most Swedes returning from summer vacations and reopening schools last week for the new semester, there are concerns that the country could face a second wave of infections.

“We do not believe that we will have a second classic wave, such as those seen in flu pandemics, where you are again affected by infectious diseases in the community,”- said Chief Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell. in an interview for “broadcaster TV4”

This disease seems to function in another way. The expansion is slower, so the likelihood is that we have explosions in certain locations, in jobs and similar environments, during autumn,”- he added.

A group of scientists who have long been critical of the country's response to pandemics, and sometimes engaging in harsh arguments with Tegnell, this month warned a faster spread of the virus after schools reopened, urging authorities to strengthen safeguard clauses.

I think we should always worry about this disease, because it's constantly causing damage and it's very unpredictable,”-Tegnell said.

But we're going back to the situation we had during the spring... we don't see this,” -- he ended up.
