The number of detected cases of the Indian so-called delta variant of the coronavirus has increased by at least 70 percent in Sweden in the last five days. This is a development that worries state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell. - If we get a worse infection situation with a greater spread of infection, we will of course be open to extending the restrictions, he says.
Yesterday, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the country is extending the corona restrictions for at least another four weeks.
The reason is the rapid spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, which was formerly called the Indian variant.
Delta is also increasing in Sweden.
According to Aftonbladet's survey of the country's regions, the number of cases has increased by at least 70 percent in recent days, to a total of 121.
