At a time when a major part of Europe remains in coronavirus lockdown, Sweden bucked the global trend by imposing minimum restriction on public activities. The Swedish government’s decision to keep schools and businesses open during the COVID-19 crisis has been criticised by some. But as the number of infections and deaths show signs of stabilising in badly hit Stockholm, the capital city and most populous urban area of Sweden, authorities are maintaining earlier strategies of imposing minimum restrictions on movement.
Now the strategy has got a stamp of approval from the country’s chief epidemiologist, who believes that the idea seems to be working and that “herd immunity” could be reached in Stockholm in few weeks.
“In major parts of Sweden, around Stockholm, we have reached a plateau (in new cases) and we’re already seeing the effect of herd immunity and in a few weeks’ time we’ll see even more of the effects of that. And in the rest of the country, the situation is stable,” CNBC quoted Dr Anders Tegnell, chief epidemiologist at Sweden’s Public Health Agency, as saying.
