It is basically impossible to keep track of all travel flows.

Anders Tegnell

We have to remember that in the world around us, most likely, this virus will keep on transmitting, so we need to keep a high level of preparedness in place. It’s not going to be an easy life.

It is very dangerous to believe face masks would change the game when it comes to Covid-19, face masks can be a complement to other things when other things are safely in place. But to start with having face masks and then think you can crowd your buses or your shopping malls -- that's definitely a mistake.

If we were to run into the same disease, knowing exactly what we know about it today, I think we would end up doing something in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done, yes, I think we could have done better in what we did in Sweden, clearly.

Maybe we will find this out now that people have started removing measures, one at a time, and then maybe we will get some kind of information on what, in addition to what we did, we could do without adopting a total lockdown.

It is a little bit lower (than expected) but not remarkably lower, maybe one or a couple of percent, it squares pretty well with the models we have.

In major parts of Sweden, around Stockholm, we have reached a plateau( in new cases) and we're already seein the effect of herd immunity and in a few weeks' time we'll see even more of the effects of that.

It is important to have a policy that can be sustained over a longer period, meaning staying home if you are sick, which is our message, locking people up at home won't work in the longer term.

Locking people up at home won't work in the longer term, sooner or later people are going to go out anyway.
