Excluding Sweden from moves to open borders across the Nordic region as it recovers from the coronavirus pandemic would be a political decision and not justifiable on health grounds, Foreign Minister Ann Linde said on Tuesday.

Sweden media have raised concerns that Swedes could be excluded as curbs on travel are relaxed, both in the Nordic region and elsewhere in Europe.

Sweden, which has not closed its borders to neighbours, opted against the hard lockdowns imposed by other Nordic countries and has kept most schools, bars and restaurants open. “It is a very complicated issue, and I think that all politicians in every country should also look at the long term effect before they take very politically motivated decisions,” she said.

“I certainly don’t think that we should wait opening the border with Germany until we can justify opening the border with Sweden,” Jakob Elleman-Jensen, the leader of the opposition Liberal Party, said this month.

I misread this at first and though a Norwegian minister said it. Now knowing a Swedish 'herd immunity' person made this claim this completely changes the meaning to Sweden thinks it's OK to force themselves on others.

also because there won’t be any Swedes left soon..

Many thousands of reasons not to.
