Get short URL

While almost every country in the world has imposed a lockdown on its citizens to try to 'flatten the curve', one European nation stands practically alone in the pandemic battle.

In this episode of In a Nutshell, correspondent, Marina Kosareva takes a closer look at Sweden’s coronavirus strategy, how herd immunity is involved, and why its viral death toll is far higher than its Nordic neighbours.
