The IT attack that has paralyzed companies in a number of countries.

Not least Sweden, where Coop has been forced to close the majority of its stores.

In an interview with SVT's Morgonstudion, CEO Magnus Johansson, CEO of Coop Sweden, announces that the food chain expects to open additional stores on Monday.

-Now it is happening at a fairly high speed that we can reinstall the checkouts and get the stores up and running.

There are at least a hundred more stores underway during the morning, he says.

In order to open its next 800 stores as soon as possible, Coop has put all its resources into the work.

In addition, hundreds of IT technicians are now being sent to Coop stores around the country to get their payment systems in order.

- We have about a hundred technicians working in the country.

It is a complicated process where the conditions look different for each store.

It looks positive and is rolling on, says Taric Belqaid, press contact at Coop.

Loses 100 million daily

Exact figures on how the attack will affect the company financially are still unknown.

-When we sum up, it is clear that we will have lost enormous financial values, but our focus right now is to get our stores up and running, says CEO Magnus Johansson.

Mattias Wallen, Cyber ​​chief of SRS security, also believes that the cash crash means a great loss for Coop.

- Keeping the stores closed will mean a large loss in both revenue and goods.

According to the IT expert's calculations, it is likely that the food chain will lose more than 100 million every day.

 - If you take Coop's turnover and divide by 365 days, you get 90 million per day and then you have to remember that it was a pay weekend and holiday when this happened, he says.

Handing out free food

Värmland, Norrbotten, Oskarshamn, Tabergsdalen, Gotland and Varberg are some of the places in Sweden where Coop has been able to stay open during the weekend.

On Sunday, the grocery chain stated that another couple of hundred stores could open thanks to the fact that they can use the store's own app for mobile payments.

However, the solution is not possible for all stores.

To avoid throwing away food that risks becoming bad, the stores have resorted to various solutions.

Some distribute the food for free, others take the help of competitors.

- There is great collaboration with competitors and friends in the industry who have had increased pressure in their stores since we closed.

They have received some of our goods, says Tarik Belqaid, Coop's spokesperson.
