The public health authority assesses that the risk is high that people are detected in Sweden infected by the corona virus abroad. This is the second highest level on a five-degree scale.
The new assessment is based on an analysis of the spread of the virus in the world, mainly through data from the WHO and the European Infection Protection Agency.
- That we will have more dropouts, that risk is obviously higher now given the development in Italy. The risk of a general spread of infection in the population, however, we still consider low, says state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell.
