Sweden’s idiosyncratic approach to managing the coronavirus has “failed,” according to the nation’s monarch.
"I think we have failed,” Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf said during a year-end television program. “We have a large number who have died, and that is terrible.”
Sweden’s approach to the coronavirus pandemic was characterized by a refusal to issue mandatory lockdown orders that made the Scandinavian nation an outlier from much of Europe and the globe. Stockholm underestimated the severity of the winter wave of infections.
