reSwedish King Carl XVI. Gustaf is of the opinion that Sweden has been unsuccessful in fighting the corona pandemic. “I think we failed,” the king said in an interview that Swedish television SVT published excerpts on Thursday. “We have a large number of people who have died and that is terrible. The Swedish people have suffered greatly under difficult conditions.
In Sweden, more than 7,800 people have died from Covid-19. About 75 percent of them were over 70 years old. Until recently, the country had less stringent crown measures than others.
Carl Gustaf said he felt especially sorry for the families who had not been able to say goodbye to their deceased relatives. “I think it is a difficult and traumatic experience not to be able to say goodbye,” said the 74-year-old.
When asked if he was afraid of getting infected with Covid-19 itself, he said: “Lately it feels more concrete, it has gotten closer and closer.” In November, his son, Prince Carl Philip, and whose wife Sofia tested positive for Covid-19.
