STOCKHOLM – Sweden, which has moved away from the lockouts around the pandemic, on Tuesday recorded 10,177 new cases of coronavirus, recorded since its last update on Friday, according to statistics from the fitness company.
Cases in the Nordic country, which does not publish knowledge of COVID-19 updated on weekends and Mondays, have increased dramatically in recent weeks, continuously reaching daily historical highs last week.
Sweden recorded 31 new deaths, with the pandemic at 5,969. Sweden’s per capita mortality rate is several times higher than that of its Nordic neighbours, but it is lower than that of some primary European countries, such as Spain and Britain.
