Novel coronavirus cases continue to soar in Sweden, which now has more than 28,500 cases, including more than 3,500 deaths, as of Friday, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University. Despite the country's high number of deaths per capita, compared with other countries in the Scandinavian region where lockdowns have been imposed, the chief epidemiologist of the Public Health Agency of Sweden, Dr. Anders Tegnell, who has been leading the country's COVID-19 response, has defended Sweden's controversial decision not to impose a lockdown.
