A total of 2,021 people have died of covid-19 in Sweden. This is an increase of 84 people reported in the last 24 hours, according to the latest statistics from the Public Health Authority.

Stockholm has had a fairly strong reporting of new cases, according to Deputy State Epidemiologist Anders Wallensten.

- We see no decline. There were many reported cases yesterday until today. One explanation may be that you test more staff, but that is not the whole explanation, he says.

26 percent in Stockholm

The day with the most infectious people in Stockholm County occurred on April 8, according to the modeling that the Public Health Authority has adjusted and is now using. And in a week, on May 1, about 26 percent of Stockholm County residents are estimated to have had the infection or been infected by the coronavirus.

- But even in May, there will be many more who have not yet been infected, says Wallensten.

A total of 16,755 people have been confirmed to be infected by the coronavirus in Sweden, of which 6,681 in Stockholm.

At present, it is estimated that there are 1 confirmed cases of 75 that have not been confirmed in Stockholm County, according to the new modeling. This is something that is only applicable to Stockholm and not the rest of the country, according to Anders Wallensten.

"Take responsibility outside"

He stresses the importance of keeping to the restrictions that exist in society, even though the spring weather is nice.

- If we start living as usual again, it can have a completely different development.

In forest and land, there is a dry and warm and high risk of fire, also claims Svante Werger, special adviser to the Swedish Agency for Social Protection and Emergency Preparedness (MSB). He therefore urges all people who go out into the forest to take responsibility.

- We don't want more big events, he says.
