Five new deaths were reported today in covid-19.
Anders Tegnell says he sees a downward trend, and that the spread is decreasing in the summer.
– It heats up, which means it is more in the environment where the virus thrives and spreads worse, Anders Tegnell tells TT.
There is a delay in the report of deaths in covid-19, it is a message repeated by the Public Health Authority.
So also on Sunday. Five new deaths were reported in the daily update at 2 p.m.
– This just shows what we have been saying all along, that the daily figures don’t make sense. You have to look back in time to get an idea of how death figures really manifest, “Anders Tegnell told TV4 News.
The spread is reduced
The state epidemiologist stated that the average death rate is 70-75 per day, but “has shown a very clear downward trend” in the past two weeks.
In the latest weekly report from the Public Health Authority, almost all the surveillance systems in progress in Sweden indicate a decrease. It is also reported that the number of people admitted to intensive care also decreases. However, no estimates are made of the trend in the number of deaths in covid-19.

Anders Tegnell says there has been a very clear downward trend in recent weeks.
For TT, Anders Tegnell says the generally positive message increases the likelihood that the spread of the virus will slow down this summer.
– Our assessment is that it will be so. Our models look that way, immunity seems to be rapidly increasing in much of the population and is heating up, which means it’s more in the environment where the virus thrives and spreads worse, says Anders Tegnell.
A mathematical model by Tom Britton, a professor at Stockholm University, has shown that Stockholm could achieve collective immunity in mid-June. Anders Tegnell was asked on TV4 when the batch immunity may have practical significance.
– The practical importance already has immunity. It is the one that helps keep these levels low. It is a very important factor in everything. I’m a little unsure that we will ever get a herd immunity that will completely stop this disease, yet an immunity that will eventually make the spread small, Anders Tegnell tells TV4.
Bildt’s work
Former Prime Minister Carl Bildt said today at Svenska Dagbladet that it is not possible to “sit on the right horses.” He himself had told Anders Tegnell not to comment on infection management in other countries, in case Bildt was prime minister today.
Anders Tegnell declined to comment on Bildt’s work.
I have no comments. It’s a political comment that politicians have to deal with, says Anders Tegnell on TV4.

podcasts Then IS exploits the crown crisis
Since 2014, IS has existed and has spread its terror through many attacks around the world and thousands of people have died. But since last year it has been pretty quiet in the big media about IS. How does the pandemic affect IS? Do they appear hidden and will they carry out attacks in the world now that they are more vulnerable?
