在疫情初期,瑞典采取了与北欧邻国及许多其他国家不同的做法,即不实施“强制大规模封锁”或实施严格限制。本文旨在研究瑞典应对COVID-19的国家战略。这项研究旨在探讨瑞典“民族精神”和“传统”的基本概念在多大程度上影响或塑造了国家战略,以避免在大流行期间强制大规模封锁。为防止强制封锁以控制COVID-19的传播,瑞典政府提出了一系列不同的措施,包括“自愿和具有法律约束力”的措施。公共卫生当局采用的战略是基于“个人责任”和政府与公民之间“相互信任”的概念。这些指导方针往往含糊不清,让个人自行解释。© 2022 Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de科英布拉.

At the beginning of the Pandemic, Sweden took a different path from her Nordic neighbours and many other countries, namely by not implementing a "forced mass lockdown" or applying stringent restrictions. This paper sets out to examine Sweden s national strategy for responding to COVID-19. This research seeks to address the extent to which the underlying concepts of Swedish "ethos" and "tradition" influenced or shaped the national strategy to avoid forced mass lockdown during the pandemic. To prevent an enforced lockdown to control the spread of COVID-19, the Swedish government presented a range of different measures, both "voluntary and legally binding". The strategy employed by the Public Health Authority was based on notions of "individual responsibility" and "mutual trust" between the government and the citizenry. The guidelines were often ambiguous and left to individuals to interpret for themselves. © 2022 Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra. All rights reserved.
