About 1,200 new cases and five deaths have been reported in the country since last Friday, a jump from last week’s average of 200 cases consistent with the day.

The revelation comes a day after an expert praised the country for defeating the killer virus, while saying there was evidence that the epidemic could be over.
The recent increase in the number of cases in Sweden will only be linked to an increase in evidence, the Public Health Agency said Tuesday.
“The moving average is somewhat higher,” said Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s leading epidemiologist, who organized his remarkable relaxed reaction to the pandemic.
“It has not yet affected the [sector] of fitness. The number of new ones in the ICU is very low and the number of deaths is very low,” he added.
Mr. Tegnell said the new measures for the capital could simply be ruled out.
“We have a discussion with Stockholm about the desire to introduce measures for the spread of infection.
“Exactly what it will be, we’ll be back to it in the few days,” he said.
Early Tuesday, Stockholm’s most sensible fitness officer also warned that the region had seen an increase in infections.
“The fall is broken,” said Stockholm Director of Fitness and Medical Services Bjorn Eriksson.
He added: “We can expect this to be a problem, that propagation will begin to be minimized again.
“It’s about how we follow the guidelines. “
Sweden has reported 5,870 deaths since the start of the pandemic, more consistent with the capita than its Nordic neighbours, but also less than countries such as Spain and Italy that have opted for strict closures.
Tegnell recently refused to rule out a wave of coronavirus infections in Sweden.
A specific fear is the return of academics to high schools for the first time since March.
The Associated Press reported Monday: “Whether on trains or trams, in supermarkets or buying grocery stores, places where masks are used in much of the world, Swedes live their lives without them.
“When Europe’s peak locked its population at the beginning of the pandemic through final schools, restaurants, gymnasiums and even borders, swedes continued with many freedoms. “
Scientists that the policy of refusing to close the country has helped build “collective immunity” – and save them a moment.
Professor Kim Sneppen, an expert in the spread of coronavirus at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, said: “There is evidence that Swedes have developed a degree of immunity opposed to the virus which, as well as what else they are doing to prevent spread, is enough for the disease.
“Maybe the epidemic is over. “
Earlier this year, Sweden moved away from a blockade and instead targeted non-public responsibility, social estating and smart hygiene to curb rather than eliminate a disease known to stay here.
Professor Sneppen told the Danish newspaper Politiken that the virus could possibly even have run out of strength.
And an official of the World Health Organization in Europe warned that the continent may be informed of broader classes in Sweden that may be war on the virus elsewhere.
“We will have to recognize that Sweden, for the time being, has moved away from the accumulation seen in some of the other Western European countries,” WHO emergency leader Catherine Smallwood said Thursday.
She added: “There are classes for that. We will be very willing to paint and hear more about the Swedish approach. “
Sweden, for the time being, has moved away from the accumulation seen in some of the other Western European countries.
According to the European Centre for Disease Control, Sweden has reported 30. 3 new cases of Covid-19 matching 100,000 inhabitants in the last fortnight.
This compares to 292. 2 in Spain, 172. 1 in France, 61. 8 in the United Kingdom and 69. 2 in Denmark, all of which imposed strict closures at the start of the pandemic.
Overall, Sweden has recorded 57. 5 Covid-19-related deaths of 100,000 inhabitants since the start of the global pandemic.
A cautious Mr. Tegnell told AP this week: “We have to be very careful and locate the first sign that something is happening so that we can do everything imaginable to prevent it from degenerating. “
However, as in countries in addition to the United Kingdom, outbreaks had been planned in Sweden.
But instead of fighting them with national standards, officials plan to use targeted movements based on detection, contact location, and immediate isolation of patients.
“We will most likely have an immediate and local reaction to combating the virus without imposing restrictions for the whole country,” Health Minister Lena Hallengren said last week.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, fitness officials have argued that Sweden is looking for a sustainable technique for the virus that other people can adopt, for years, if necessary.
“It is a marathon, not a sprint”, has a motto that is repeated through the ministers at every opportunity, since there is still no vaccine or cure.
