        Related: Yesterday, CEO Daniel Ek announced that all Spotify employees will be working from home the next 2 weeks. No employees have been diagnosed with Covid-19 — it's a protective measure. Daniel writes that he hopes other companies will follow suit. eldsjal/1237487784996343813

    The just released number of known cases today in Sweden is 461. But no further indications of community spreading. Majority of those infected are 40-60 years old. Most cases can be traced to northern Italy.

      Sweden prides itself in being really good at contact tracing, but also epidemiological surveillance and microbiological surveillance.

        Alas, Sweden also finds itself today with its first fatal victim of Covid-19. "An elderly person in intensive care, with an underlying illness." omni.se/a/b52j3d
