Coronavirus Sweden: Controversial COVID-19 strategy ‘vindicated’

Sweden was panned for its controversial approach to coronavirus – but now it has fewer deaths per day than most other nations, including Australia.


A country whose coronavirus strategy was mocked by the rest of the world may be having the last laugh after recording an average of just one death from the disease a day.
Sweden infamously chose to ignore calls for heavy lockdowns and has kept most schools, bars and restaurants open throughout the pandemic.
