Since they/we appear to be lagging about 800-1000 deaths still (unexplained deaths in national statistics over the last few weeks), there are probably at least 30-40 who died in the last 24 hours across the nation of Covid-19. Weekend reporting of new deaths is something Sweden seems unable to do, perhaps the city folk is too busy crowding in the sun and at restaurants to keep track during weekends. And they're still squabbling over why testing is only at about 1/4 of what was promised weeks ago. The rest of Europe is placing us in quarantine as well, it seems. Goddamn disaster is what it is, and not one soul is taking an iota of responsibility for anything, they're all just pointing fingers at one another in an endless circle. Humanitarian superpower indeed.

Where you getting 800-1000 extra deaths? Haven't seen anything about that.

As for testing, we don't need more testing, we need less testing. It only screws up our numbers.

Edit:

The latest numbers I found was 4000 excess death on may 17 "As of 17 May, there had been approximately 4000 excess deaths in Sweden since late March. - wikipedia"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sweden#Excess_mortality

We had reported 3679 dead on that day, considering backlog, we are very close.

As for travel, we are all EU members, they can't block us from entering their country, besides I was reading today several citizen from EU countries are visiting our country now :)

From March 23rd and up to May 3rd, approx. 1000 unaccounted for deaths beyond regular mortality rates, it's not likely that all 1000 are directly linked to Covid-19 but a significant portion would be (even only half would mean a margin of error well beyond 10%). One of the most significant statistical trends though is the very slow downward slope of Swedish deaths per capita compared to the rest of Europe, and indeed most of the world. And even countries that simply don't do anything at all (Brazil, for instance) have lower deaths per capita in the past few weeks total.

As with poor economic growth, where Sweden celebrated when they corrected analysts statistics on OECD stats, and it turned out they were only the third-worst in all of OECD in GDP  growth per capita and not the worst, they seem to be falling back on the fact that 2-3 tiny states with an immensely different population per square kilometer and a few other countries whose famous dallying cost tens of thousands of lives are still a little bit worse in total figures. These disaster-struck regions have now reduced their daily fatalities enormously, going from north of 1000 per day and down to mere double digits or even less, while Swedish numbers are still at around 1/3 of peak numbers or above, many weeks after said peak. Only in Sweden would this be considered a success or signs or proper progress. To make matters worse, regions outside Stockholm seem to be having an increase. Meanwhile, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, and Finland's combined weekly deaths are well below that of a single day in Sweden.

Even smug journalists who were brandishing the Swedish genius and dubbing Europe alarmist victims of mass hysteria have now turned one after one and more and more chronicles are focusing on the obvious faults and flaws in the strategy as well as the incredibly anemic leadership throughout the pandemic.
