STOCKHOLM - Sweden accused the World Health Organisation on Friday of a"total misinterpretation" of its data, as the UN body listed it among 11 countries facing a resurgence of coronavirus cases.

"We have an increase in cases because we have begun testing much more in Sweden the past week," he said, adding that"all the other parameters" showed the number of serious cases was falling.
