The Swedish coronastrategi is gone the world around and abroad langer experts in our Swedish neighbours in order to have the grip this pandemic is completely the wrong way.
‘Sweden covid-19-the strategy has enhanced the epidemic’, reads a headline in the French tv-station France 24, while u.s. New York Times in an editorial argues that the US should not copy the Swedish strategy.
But it is quite wrong to describe Sweden’s coronastrategi as a failure.
It believes Sweden’s minister for financial affairs, Per Bolund, who in an interview with the Swedish newspaper Expressen lashing out at neighbouring countries coronastrategi.
the Minister does not name which countries coronastrategier he disagrees, but mentions, among other school closures as a ‘questionable decision’.
– We have seen how other countries have chosen not to follow the research and the experts ‘ recommendations. It has led to some questionable decisions such as closing the schools for the children. It is discussed intensely in our neighbouring countries, though it may have been a costly decision, says Per Bolund.
Since the middle of march, the Danish school students received training via an internet connection from home. Also in Norway, the decommissioning reminded of the Danish model with the closure of schools and kindergartens from 12. march and until well into april.

the Discussion of nedlukningens effect, as the minister refers to, took to, as the Norwegian counterpart to the Statens Serum Institut, Folkehelseinstituttet, in may concluded that the closure had had a major societal impact, cost tens of billions and simply had a ‘small’ effect in the fight against corona. It writes NRK.
In Sweden has to a greater extent followed public health recommendations than in Denmark – among other things, in the issue of grænselukning, where the government closed the borders, though it was not among the national board of Health recommendations.
And decisions as it is according to the Swedish minister ‘irresponsible’.
– To sit and try and guess and draw their own conclusions, I think, is directly irresponsible. We have a long tradition in Sweden, where we listen to our experts, and base our decisions on their knowledge, says Per Bolund to Expressen.
the Extra Leaf has asked the press offices in the Swedish ministry for an in-depth interview with Per Bolund, but it is not possible, says in an email to the newspaper.
