40% of the world's population is urged to stay home. Many wonder whether Sweden's relatively mild methods of stopping the spread of infection are sufficient, or whether one should act like countries that have introduced stricter quarantine rules. For example, Finland has quarantined the entire region of Uusimaa (which includes Helsinki, among others).
But according to Anders Tegnell, there is no reason at present to follow the example of Finland, or other European countries.
- I'm not so sure that they have reached so much further than us. There is nothing to suggest it. I think it is important that you continue to use the means that you know work, in other countries you have other traditions where it may be necessary to use, for example, laws.
"Everyone will end up in crisis"At the same time, Anders Tegnell does not rule out that it may be necessary to take tougher measures against the virus later on:
- All countries will end up in different types of crises. I think it's important to think about what suits us.
It is still too early to answer the question when the corona will end up being a major problem for Sweden and the world, but Anders Tegnell thinks that Sweden has so far managed the crisis relatively well:
- Of course everyone is worried. I am not worried that it will look very different in Sweden than in other countries. So far, the situation has developed well in Sweden. Healthcare has worked with the efforts we have made.
