To this day, Sweden has not imposed mandatory rules, but is trying to address the pandemic through recommendations for action.
“More infected. More deaths. The situation is very serious,” Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löwen wrote on Facebook, who voluntarily self-isolation after a person around him tested positive for Kovid-19. Thus, he far exceeded the prescriptions imposed by himself: in almost no country in the world, no one who has not had direct contact with an infected person is isolated, especially in Sweden.
Like all of Europe, Sweden is also experiencing a second wave of coronavirus: there are recently around 4,000 cases of new infections per day. But the country continues to cling to its now world-famous “Swedish route” to fight the pandemic.
The philosophy is this: If the minds of the population are appealed to, rather than forcing them to restrict themselves, the understanding shown will be greater in the long run, he said. Deutsche Welle.
“If you walk through the streets of Stockholm or enter a store, you will not see anyone wearing a mask. Only people wear them in vehicles. It is taboo to wear a mask,” said virologist Lena Einhorn.
The 66-year-old documentary filmmaker, along with 21 like-minded individuals, circulated a detailed and well-founded critique of Sweden’s fight against the pandemic in April.
Sweden was at times the country with the highest number of deaths in the world, as many older people died there, while in other countries, older people were protected from infection much more effectively.
“In the summer, the number of victims decreased and Sweden was again an example. However, when the number of infected people began to increase again in autumn in many countries, Sweden became an idol of freedom. An idol” says Einhorn.
The population of the country continues to broadly support the different pandemic policies of the Swedish government. Neighboring countries have long abandoned the recommendations, introducing rules instead. But the Swedish government couldn’t afford it, Einhorn said.
