Sweden, which has opted for a more open strategy in combating the virus than other European countries, has the highest number of deaths in Europe per capita from the coronavirus over the last seven days, Reuters reported.
Sweden has kept most schools, restaurants and businesses open during the pandemic.
While deaths are on the decline, Sweden had 6.25 deaths per million inhabitants per day in a rolling seven day average between May 12 and May 19, according to ourworldindata.org.
That was the highest in Europe and just above the United Kingdom, which had 5.75 deaths per million.
