“I deliberately do not compare the response of individual countries to the coronavirus,” David Nabarro said in a statement, referring to a radio interview in New Zealand, which has introduced strict measures against the coronavirus. “I call on all states to adopt comprehensive prevention and containment strategies.”

In an interview with Magic Talk radio, Nabarro spoke about the different measures to respond to the coronavirus in Sweden and New Zealand, and said that the generalized restrictions on the movement of people “are very harmful to everyone’s life.”

The recent decision in New Zealand to reintroduce quarantine in Auckland was the correct one, he said.

The WHO tries not to directly criticize the health policies of countries.

“As the origin of the cases is not clear, it is good that decisive measures are being taken,” said the special envoy.

Unlike most European countries, Sweden avoided universal quarantine and relied mainly on voluntary measures to restrict human communication in places where the virus could have spread.

“The government has been able to trust the public and the public has been able to trust the government,” Nabarro said.

On the other hand, he also said that “Sweden’s response should be significantly improved.”

In this Nordic country, mortality from COVID-19 is still significantly higher than in many others at 100,000. the population represents around 57 deaths.
