The regions had an early opportunity to start testing the Swedes, but the starting signal of authority and government came too late. Anders Knape thinks so.
– The capacity and the willingness were there to start a fairly broad sampling before us. But we have had as a principle here, both the municipalities and the regions, that we follow the recommendations of the Swedish Public Health Agency. We follow the government’s recommendations, we follow what is established at the national level, he says in the “interview on Saturday.”
It has been highly criticized
The topic of testing has been a heated debate. Several researchers, doctors and politicians questioned the strategy of the Swedish crown. One of them was former testing coordinator Harriet Wallberg.
– I am of the opinion that we should stick to extensive monitoring of tests and infections and build capacity much earlier, you said earlier.
According to Knape, the spread in society would have been mitigated if testing had started earlier.
– It is likely that if the tests had started earlier, perhaps also the tracking of the infection and the general spread of the infection could have been limited.
