- I followed the recommendations that the Public Health Agency had on its website for those who did not test themselves.

They agreed that if you had symptoms for seven days and were fever-free for two days - but you may have a cough and such - then you should go to work.

And I did, says Jimmie Åkesson (SD) in Aktuellt.

It also says that if you have had symptoms for more than a day, you should get tested.

Why did you not do that?

- It is not completely available to test yourself always.

I did it as fast as I could.

I was supposed to test myself before I went to the Riksdag, but got busy with a lot of work.

So I did not have time, so I tested myself last Friday.

He says he has not received the test results yet, even though he would receive them within 48 hours.

You have called the government's handling a massacre.

Is it not important that you are extra responsible if you are so harsh in your criticism?

- Yes, and that is exactly why I chose to follow the Public Health Agency's advice.

Had I not done so, I would have been criticized for it.

Sometimes you end up in situations where you can not do the right thing.
