Sweden Health Ministry Records 3,040 Covid-19 Deaths.

Sweden’s Public Health Agency on Thursday disclosed that the country has recorded 3,040 deaths 24,623 confirmed cases of the covid-19.

Despite fears of the virus the Swedish Government did not impose a strict stay at home order, stating that Sweden’s healthcare system still had spare capacity.

The Swedish government approach to the curbing the spread of the virus has received criticism both domestically and abroad, particularly as deaths tolls have exceeded that of neighbouring countries, which have all imposed more restrictive containment measures.

Despite the criticism, Swedish officials have insisted their plan is sustainable in the long-term, rejecting drastic short-term measures as too ineffective to justify their impact on society.
