Sweden should consider a shutdown of the partnership if healthcare wants to cope with a second wave of the coronavirus. So said Fredrik Sund, director of operations of the infection clinic at Uppsala University Hospital, in Aktuellt on Thursday.
But the legislation on the closure is not relevant, according to the Minister of Social Affairs, Lena Hallengren (S).
– I do not see in front of me that we establish a team, that means we have a total “lockdown”. Since the pandemic began, “lockdown” has been shown to mean a few different things. We are about to close a large part of our society, says the minister.
“It has clear recommendations”
On Thursday, the Swedish Public Health Agency announced that it is tightening general councils in two more regions, Södermanland and Kronoberg counties.
Therefore, ten of the 21 regions of the country have introduced stricter local restrictions. Halland, Jönköping, Skåne, Stockholm, Uppsala, Örebro, Östergötland and Västra Götaland have also introduced restrictions that mean residents are discouraged from traveling by public transport and visiting indoor environments such as shops, malls and museums, and avoiding physical contact with other people. than those you live with.
More than seven million Swedes are now subject to local restrictions.
– This means that we have stricter restrictions in practically all of Sweden. In my opinion, we have strong recommendations and attitudes that cause much of society to shut down, says Lena Hallengren.
