“I think there is a perception that Sweden has not implemented control measures and has simply allowed the disease to spread,” Ryan told reporters. “Nothing could be further from the truth”.
Ryan noted that instead of restrictions, the country “has implemented a very robust public policy around social distance, care and protection of people in long-term care facilities.”

He said the country has also stepped up testing and has enough hospital capacity to handle any outbreaks.
“I think if we want to reach a new normal standard, Sweden is a model if we want to go back to a society where we have no quarantine,” Ryan said.
