The recent rise in new cases, hospitalizations and deaths has dashed hopes of the country developing herd immunity to the virus.

On Tuesday, Sweden’s state epidemiologist said that the country had not seen evidence of herd immunity slowing the spread of coronavirus in the country.

“The issue of herd immunity is difficult,” Anders Tegnell said at a news briefing, according to Bloomberg.

Sweden’s statistics agency said on Wednesday that life expectancy in the country will probably fall in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The increased spread of covid-19 we see now may well lead to more extra deaths during the last two months of the year, which may result in even lower life expectancy in 2020,”  Örjan Hemström, demographer at Statistics Sweden, said.
