Sweden to End Pandemic Measures, Stop Classifying Covid as ‘Generally and Socially Dangerous’
The Swedish government is set to repeal its Pandemic Act by the end of the month and starting in April, the country will no longer classify the Wuhan virus as a “generally and socially dangerous” disease.
Social Affairs Minister Lena Hallengren announced that the government will be repealing the Pandemic Act by submitting a motion to end measures to the Swedish parliament — something the legislature, known as the Riksdag, had already asked the government to do.
“Our assessment is that it is possible to abolish the law. If we had judged that it was not, we would have had a new discussion with the Riksdag,” Minister Hallengren said.
The government is also sceptical that it will need such laws even if there is a new wave of coronavirus infections in the autumn, according to a report from broadcaster SVT. – READ MORE
