Corona’s special loose route he planned drew international criticism. Chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell now explains in a “press” conversation why this strategy saves Sweden a second wave of infections.
Hardly any other state has been criticized as harshly in recent months as Sweden for its special loose route without lock and mask requirement in the crown crisis. But now the tide seems to have turned. The British and Danish media, for example, suddenly see Sweden no longer as a pariah state, but as a role model. Almost everything was allowed in Sweden: kindergartens, offices, shops and schools remained open. Only a ban on visiting nursing homes and an obligation to sit in restaurants was introduced. 500 people were allowed to meet until March 29. So far a maximum of 50.
“The overseas rethinking of the Swedish strategy from highly critical to more comprehensive has, of course, to do with our good and stable figures,” says Anders Tegnell, state epidemiologist and architect of the Swedish Sonderweg, the “Presse”. “We are on the right track. The pandemic has decreased dramatically in recent months, much faster than we thought. Now we are one of the least dispersed countries in Europe,” he says.
