So far 401 people have died as a result of contracting the corona virus, and Anders Tegnell says that the Public Health Agency's new method of checking the number of registered infected against the register of deaths means there is no backlog of such cases.

Tegnell says that the number of deaths does not give a true picture of the recent development of the spread of the virus, but that the number of patients in intensive care is a better indicator.

However, Anders Tegnell says there are signs that the outbreak is reaching a top level and begining to flatten out particularly in Stockholm, but the next day or two will clarify if it really is so.
