On October 13, local time, the Swedish Public Health Agency announced that a total of 2,203 new cases were added from 10-12 days, and a total of 100,654 new coronary pneumonia cases nationwide.
The total number of deaths was 5899, with 5 new cases.
Sweden is also the first country in Northern Europe to reach 100,000 cases of COVID-19 infection.
Swedish TV reported that the Swedish Public Health Agency's press conference stated that the sick age group in Sweden is now in the 20-50 age group, and the elderly group is not the main target of infection.
Bitte Bråstad of the Health Bureau announced that the authorities have decided to temporarily tighten regional general recommendations.
This policy will take effect on October 19.
The Department of Health and the infection control doctor decide on the measures that can be taken after consultation.
For example, you will be able to decide whether people should avoid using public transportation; avoid visiting nursing homes; avoid shopping centers; avoid gathering in indoor environments; avoid going to restaurants or having physical contact with people you don’t know well.
These are temporary measures and can be tried for two weeks before being extended.
If an outbreak occurs, this is a measure to reduce the spread of virus infection.
