After a few days with the decline in the daily death toll has Sweden on Monday recorded so far the highest level.
76 persons infected with the coronavirus is registered dead in Sweden the past day.
It informs the Swedish health authorities.
The 76 dead marks a sad record in the number of daily coronarelaterede deaths in Sweden.
Sunday was the announcement on 28 died, and the previous record was 69.
With Monday’s update is a total of 477 coronapatienter died in Sweden, including 282 men and 195 women.
Statsepidemiolog Anders Tegnell, who is the director of the Swedish national board of health, said at a news conference that the low level of the weekend probably due to an under-reporting.
– It must be interpreted with great caution, because we know that we have less reporting on the weekends, he says at a press conference Monday.
so far 7206 persons tested positive with the virus in Sweden.
While the number of deaths on Monday took a hop, then the influx of patients to the intensive departments apparently stable, writes the Swedish news agency TT.
According to Anders Tegnell constitute epidemic is a particular threat to the elderly who are in nursing homes.
– It is important that all who work with it (care of the elderly, ed.), return to their work and think about what they can do better, he says.
– When I talk with my nordic colleagues, they have the same problems, says Anders Tegnell.
Sweden has chosen to fight the virus in a somewhat different way than many other countries. Thus, one has, for example, in Sweden, decided to keep schools open, and it is still possible to take on the restaurant and bar.
The strategy has been met with criticism – both within and outside Sweden’s borders.
