[앵커]

Sweden, which emphasized only “voluntary distance”, eventually came to a partial lockdown.

In Sweden, where there has been no action ordered by the government, we are strengthening responses to the ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages at night and the number of gatherings in public places.

However, there are voices that question the effectiveness of wearing a mask or other containment measures.

The center of Stockholm is free from other European countries that have been completely blocked.

In Sweden, which is still left to the autonomous quarantine of citizens, people without masks are easily noticed.

In this situation, the number of new cases per day in Sweden is increasing rapidly, two to three times more than the peak in the first half.

As patients flock to each hospital, the number of patients receiving COVID-19 treatment in the intensive care unit more than doubled in one week.

The anxiety of citizens inevitably grows in the atmosphere of endless reproliferation.

[김애경 / 스웨덴 스톡홀름 : 불가피하게 이동이 필요한 상황이 있을 수 있겠죠. 그러나 저는 (전면) 봉쇄를 해야 한다고 생각해요. 경각심 없이 자율에 맡기다 보니까 이동하면서 확진자가 더 늘어났고요.]

Finally, Sweden entered a partial lockdown for the first time after the outbreak of Corona 19.

Prime Minister Stephen Löven said there was a risk of falling into the same situation as last spring, banning the sale of alcohol at night for three months and then mobilizing forcing up to eight people to gather in public places.

[스테판 뢰벤 / 스웨덴 총리 : 이건 스웨덴 전체를 위한 새 규범입니다. 체육관에도 도서관에도 가지 말고 파티도 하지 마세요. 취소하십시오.]

However, there are many citizens who question the effectiveness of this blockade.

[미카엘 존슨 / 스웨덴 스톡홀름 : 자율적 거리 두기 방식은 계속 이어갈 수 있어요. 봉쇄 상황은 지속할 수 없고 오히려 자발적인 거리 두기를 할 수 없게 강제합니다.] [수 알레만 / 캐롤린스카 대학병원 감염병 수석 연구원 : 벨기에는 강력 봉쇄를 취하고도 치명률이 높았습니다. 만약 스웨덴이 봉쇄정책을 택했다면 벨기에와 크게 다르지 않았을 겁니다.]

In some areas, such as the capital Stockholm, citizens are advised to refrain from visiting multiple facilities and working from home.

Sweden, which kept its voluntary distance from citizens even during the first round of blockade when European countries were struggling to block, finally initiated a partial blockade is a symbol of how dire the current Corona 19 situation is in Europe.
