“The highest death toll in the 21st century has been measured in Sweden”
The highest death rate since the turn of the millennium has been measured in Sweden. A total of 2,505 people died during the week 15 - 358 people per day.
In Stockholm, twice as many died in April this year than the average in 2015-2019.
During Easter week, the highest number of people died during the 2000s, according to Sweden’s preliminary statistics on deaths in Sweden.
The second deadliest week was week 1 in 2000, when 2,364 people died.
In place three and four are week 14 and week 16 this year, with 2,354 and 2,310 dead - which means that three of four of the deadliest weeks in 20 years will be found in April 2020.
The preliminary statistics on the dead have been produced to give a quicker picture of the development during the corona eruption, they write in a press release.
- It is important to clearly state that these are preliminary statistics and that the death toll will be revised upward in the last few weeks, says Tomas Johansson.
In Stockholm County, death rates during week 14-16 are twice as high as the average weeks over the past four years.
The municipality with the highest measured excess mortality during the period March 21-April 20 is Sundbyberg.
- Both in Sundbyberg and Borlänge, more than three times more people died in 2020 than the average for the years 2015–2019, says Tomas Johansson.
Another six counties have had death rates that were at least 50 percent higher than the weekly averages in 2015–2019 during at least one of these weeks.
These are Uppsala, Södermanland, Östergötland, Gotland, Västmanland and Dalarna.
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell commented on the death toll during Friday’s press conference.
Then he said it was “clear” that more people were dying in covid-19 than during a regular flu season.
In Stockholm County, death rates during weeks 14-16 are twice as high as the average weeks over the past four years.
