Sweden will ease restrictions on elderly residents of care homes who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 , the country's top epidemiologist said on Wednesday, at the same time as rules for the rest of the country are tightened. Lighter rules for elderly care home patients who have had both shots will be announced on Thursday, Dagens Nyheter wrote. When it comes time to ease restrictions in general, Tegnell said Sweden did not need to follow the kind of rigid road-map announced this week by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, as the lockdown had not been so hard. "When we see that the spread of the infection is a little more stable, we can slowly start to ease a number of restrictions."
