The new assessment is based on an analysis of the spread of the virus around the world. It uses a five-point scale, where the risk levels are classed as very low, low, moderate, high, and very high.

The risk of discovering a case of infection with the corona virus in Sweden is high, but the risk of the infection spreading among the general public within the country is assessed as being low.
