The Swedish Institute of Statistics (Statistik centralbyrån) has published the preliminary data on mortality rate in Sweden. The historical series cover the numbers of deaths during the last five years plus the year of 2020. The Swedish government makes the data public with the intention of informing the domestic society as well as the Nordic region about the consequences brought by the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.

This page was built with the purpose of supporting the study of how the Swedish government has dealt with the COVID-19 outbreak. We included different sections with many charts, tables and a map of Sweden divided into regions. All the material is interactive and we kindly recommend the visitors to explore the buttons and move the cursor over the images. This documentation includes a basic bibliography that will be constantly updated. Academic studies, official reports, newspapers and statistics are part of our sources.
It is also important to highlight that the use of the content herein is under the umbrella of the Global Pandemic Network, COVID-19 - Cities and Human Rights. The group is coordinated by Dr. Ronald Car, Associate Professor, University of Macerata, and by the PhD Candidate Maria Antonia Tigre, Pace University, Regional Director, Lat. Am. Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment.

The Statistik centralbyrån (SCB) published the data on mortality rate in different fashions. This section only includes the number of deaths in total numbers and the average for the cross-section 2015-2019. The SCB has only included preliminary results for 2020.
The second part includes the average of deaths between the years 2015 and 2019. Figure 2 brings forward the average of deaths per day. The methodology of the SCB is as follows. The number of deaths on the first of January for each year is summed and then divided by five. The same for the second of January and so forth. The year 2020 is not included in the calculus.
The SCB also published data on mortality rate based on gender. The numbers cover the years of 2019-2020 and are divided by age, that is to say, 0-64, 65-79, 80-89 and 90+. The following figures indicate the mortality rate based on female biotypes for 2019 with the chart on the left, and 2020 with the chart on the right.
The following figures show the mortality rate based on male biotypes for 2019-2020. The interactive charts are similar to the previous ones. Figure on the left represents the year 2019 and the one on the right 2020.
The present section shows the data on hospital beds divided into subsections. The first one refers to the number of beds per 1,000. It includes countries which are members of the organization and its key partners. We filtered the Nordic Region to analyse the figures on the Swedish case. The second subsection brings forward the number of beds per 1,000 related to acute care and the numbers have been plotted following the same method of the subsection one. See OECD, Hospital Beds, Indicator per 1,000.
