Johan Carlson, Director General of the Swedish Public Health Agency, was questioned on Friday in the Riksdag’s constitutional committee about Swedish corona handling.
The question of whether the corona strategy has changed or not since the pandemic began, he chose to liken to “a battle over the pope’s beard”, a term that has historically been used to describe things that are impossible to determine.
According to Johan Carlson, the discussion about the Swedish strategy has been strange, where strategy is mixed with measures and decisions, writes TT.
The director general said that the strategy had been the same all along: to reduce the spread of infection so that the pressure on healthcare would decrease and to protect particularly vulnerable groups.
On the other hand, there were those who thought that you could get the infection out completely by shutting down society, and we did not think so and we have got it right, Carlson said.
