Coronavirus tracked: Charting Sweden’s disastrous no-lockdown strategy
Sweden’s decision to shun strict Covid-19 containment measures may have kept businesses open, but at what cost?
Sweden has taken the ignominious title of the country with the world’s highest death rate from Covid-19.

The number of deaths per capita in Sweden is now more than four-times that of its Nordic neighbours.
