Introduction
The Swedish response to the Corona-crisis has been relatively moderate compared to most other countries.
Sweden did not opt for a total lockdown, did not close elementary schools, day cares, bars, restaurants, movie theaters, and other places of business. Public gatherings of up to 50 people are still allowed until further notice. Sweden’s intra EU borders remain open — in contrast to its neighbors Denmark, Finland and Norway — although the government has extended the temporary entry ban to the EU via Sweden through May 15th.
