Swedish health officials said today that another 3,000 deaths from the coronavirus were possible in the country, known for its controversial softer approach to curbing the spread and much higher death toll than its neighbours.
The projection comes from one of three potential scenarios presented in a report from the country's Public Health Agency today.
In the worst scenario, where Covid-19 was expected to follow a traditional pandemic trajectory, over 5,800 more deaths related to the virus could follow.
That would be more than double the 5,646 deaths, out of 78,166 confirmed cases, so far recorded since the start of the pandemic.
