This data has revealed to the state health agency, where it is stressed that this is the lowest rate of infection at a time when other countries in Europe are facing an increase in the number of infected.

1. Sweden's strategy has been criticised both at home and abroad, as there were large numbers of deaths from the coronarys, however, this strategy was praised by officials of the World Health Organization as a stable model.

The goal of our approach is for people themselves to understand the need to follow the recommendations and guidelines that exist”, Swedish Health Agency Director General Johann Carlson said at a press conference.

While many countries have changed the rules and restrictions of isolation, Carlson said Swedish guidelines were designed to be understood and maintained for a long period of time.

More than 5 thousand and 800 infected people have died in Sweden, yet the figures there are lower than in Italy, Spain, and Great Britain.

Deaths, hospitals and new cases in Sweden have marked declines, while countries like Spain and France struggle with increased numbers of infected even after the extent of isolation.

Over 120 thousand tests were conducted last week in Sweden, however, only about 1,000 and 300 have resulted positive.

“Our strategy has been stable. We probably have a lower spread risk here compared to other countries, ” said Jonas Ludvigsson, professor of epidemiology at Karolinska Institutes, adding that Sweden would likely have a higher level of immunity in population than most other countries.
