Time for an update on the #coronavirus situation in Sweden! It’s been two weeks since my last thread about this subject, and the positive trend continues: Fewer cases, fewer deaths, fewer hospitalized and fewer patients requiring intensive care! #covid19 #coronavirussweden 
First, the number of cases is dropping. We also see a declining number of tests simply because fewer people have symptoms. In the region I work, we currently only use a fraction of our testing capacity. The percentage of pos tests is dropping. #covid19 #coronavirussweden
The number of hospitalized patients have decreased. The number of patients receiving intensive care for #covid19 in Swedish hospitals has been less than 50 per day (total in the country!) for a few days in a row now. #coronavirussweden
Social distancing is still practised, but my general impression is that people are a bit less cautious than a month ago. Restaurants and bars have restrictions on how many guests they can serve, public events like concerts are absent due to the 50 person limit. #coronavirussweden
July is the number one vacation month in #Sweden, which partly could explain the decline in the spread. People spend more time outdoors and stay outside the big cities. It’s quite likely that the spread will increase in a few weeks when people go back to work. #coronavirussweden
Hopefully adherence to the recommendations of social distancing, staying home when you are sick (even the slightest!), working from home if you can, avoiding public transportation and exercising good hand hygiene, will keep the spread at a slow pace! #coronavirussweden
