Sweden's prime minister says health officials in his country misjudged the impact of the latest wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Health officials in Sweden, which opted not to respond to the first wave of COVID-19 with a national lockdown, misjudged the power of the virus’ ongoing resurgence, the country’s prime minister said Tuesday, and an independent commission criticized the national strategy.

After the prime minister’s comments were published Tuesday, a commission that has looked into Sweden’s handling of the pandemic released its preliminary conclusions — which were particularly critical of provisions made for the elderly.The country of just over 10 million has seen 341,029 confirmed infections and 7,667 virus-related deaths, a death toll much higher than in neighbors Norway, Finland or Denmark.

Commission President Mats Melin stressed at a news conference that elder care in Sweden has major structural shortcomings and the country has proved unprepared and ill-equipped to meet the pandemic.The commission also considered that several measures taken in the spring were late and insufficient.
