Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Löfven is facing a grilling about how his government has handled the coronavirus pandemic. The leader is appearing before Sweden’s Committee on the Constitution, which has the job of scrutinising the government and ministers. #coronasweden #covid19
Over the next few hours he’s expected to be quizzed on matters including the availability of testing, how bans on visits to elderly care homes were handled and the country’s general approach to the crisis, which included leaving larger parts of society open than most of Europe.
The committee has already questioned several of Löfven’s top team including Health Minister Lena Hallengren. She revealed last week that although the Swedish government agreed on a general approach to handling the pandemic, it never formalised or voted on a Covid-19 strategy.
