In Sweden, eight new deaths have been reported linked to the coronavirus and a total of 4,403 people have been confirmed dead as a result.

This summer, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell believes the spread of infection will decrease.

- There are two factors that we know are important - the summer weather, which makes the virus survive worse. And that many people are immune, especially in Stockholm. Then the spread of the virus decreases quite drastically, he says.

Recommendations are subject to change

Before the end of the week, the Public Health Authority will announce new changes in the travel recommendations. Now, under certain conditions, it is okay to go by car, if it is not more than one to two hours from the place of residence.

- We believe that summer will be a reasonably quiet period. But this fall, everyone is probably wondering what it will be like. It is probably good to be prepared for the fact that there can be peaks in slightly different places in the country, says Anders Tegnell.

Many dead in Iran

Several experts warn of a second wave of the corona virus. And today, the AFP news agency reports that Iran has received 3,000 new deaths linked to the corona virus. It is the highest death toll in a day, two months ago.

- I think we will see a second wave in several countries, says Anders Tegnell.
