The Swedish Public Health Agency reported zero new deaths during the past 24 hours at Thursday’s press conference. 97 532However, it has now been confirmed that people are fully infected with COVID-19, representing an increase of 855 new cases since yesterday. And if you look at the rest of the world, confirmed cases of infection continue to increase dramatically.
– We still have a very serious pandemic. Many countries have a large number of cases in the last week. We have more than 35 million cases and more than a million deaths in the world, says Karin Tegmark Wisell, head of department at the Swedish Public Health Agency, and continues:
– Other countries have a more stable phase, others have reduced numbers. But in general, when you look at the cases globally in a week, you can see that it doesn’t slow down the total. We still have a large number of cases globally.
“Unfortunately, the number of cases continues to increase”
It also highlights how it looks in Europe and that these are worrying figures.
– In the EU / EEA and the UK, the bar is alarmingly high. Unfortunately, the trend of increasing cases continues to increase. We now have 3.7 million cases and 193,000 deaths in Europe.
When it comes to Sweden, the sampling is still extensive, says Tegmark Wisel.
– If we look at the background that the evidence is still high, and we should have a representative statistic, we see when we look at the number of cases per week in Sweden, that it seems to be decreasing. The increase remains at last week’s level, but we have more days of the week left, so it is not possible to draw full conclusions yet, he says.
