Sweden has seen a significant increase in new infections with the coronavirus. After a previous high of 2,129 new infections the day before, 3,254 new corona cases were added on Thursday in the last 24 hours, according to data from Swedish health authority Folkhälsomyndigheten in the afternoon.
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell pointed out at a news conference in Stockholm that Sweden might appear to have more cases than in the spring. However, that is not true, he emphasized. The spread in the population was many times greater at that time, but at that time they did not have the same testing capabilities that they have today.
Almost 6,000 dead
In total, more than 121,000 cases of corona have been recorded in Sweden. The number of deaths related to the infection rose by seven on Thursday to 5,934.
During the Corona crisis, Sweden followed a highly noted special route with less strict restrictions. In the spring, the EU country had significantly higher infection and death rates than the rest of Scandinavia. The current value of new infections in Sweden is lower than in other parts of Europe compared to other European countries.
