The number of new Covid-19 cases in Sweden has decreased in the past week, but infections are still at a high level and it is too early to say whether the trend will continue, the Health Agency said.
Sweden has experienced a severe third wave of the pandemic and the number of patients treated at intensive care has been the highest since during spring last year, although deaths have remained low.
“We saw a decrease of some 10-11 per cent last week,” Chief Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told a news conference. “There is still a very high level of spread in Sweden. It is too early to claim any victory,” he said.
