According to the Swedish Public Health Agency's weekly report, the number of corona tests performed in the country increased by 30 percent compared with the week before.

The proportion of positive responses for those tested was 1.6 percent, a figure that has been steady at between 3-4 percent during the 7 previous weeks.

Thus a marked reduction.

A total of 85,060 people were tested for analysis of ongoing infection during week 35. Of these, 1,212 people were positive.

The week before, 65,546 were tested, of which 1,687 were positive.

12 per 100,000

The number of people cared for in IVA with confirmed covid-19 was at an unchanged level compared with the last three weeks.

During week 35, 1,200 confirmed infections were reported, which is a marked decrease compared to the previous week's 1,700. Nationally, Sweden has 12 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

The corresponding figure for the previous week was 16.

Increase in antibodies

The samples collected from outpatient care up to and including week 24 show that 6 percent of those tested had antibodies.

Even seven percent of blood donors at the national level have antibodies, according to new statistics from the Swedish Public Health Agency.

Data is adjusted continuously

The Swedish Public Health Agency continues to adjust data and another 150 cases have been removed from the statistics, according to the weekly report.

The cases have been removed due to incorrect test results.

According to the authority, quality work is underway regarding sampling and the number of cases may thus be further adjusted.
