Sweden recorded the most coronavirus deaths in Europe per capita over the last week, according to data

Sweden recorded the most coronavirus deaths in Europe per capita over the last week, according to data from Our World In Data, an online research publication based at the University of Oxford. The data, first reported on by Reuters, indicates that although Sweden’s coronavirus cases are declining overall, the country’s relaxed lockdown measures have seen its average daily number of per capita coronavirus cases within the last week climb above its European counterparts. Sweden never issued a formal coronavirus lockdown and has instead encouraged citizens to stay home when they’re sick and maintain social distancing when in public.
