On 31 Jan 2020, Public Health Agency proposed classification of covid-19 under Swedish Communicable Diseases Act which requires contract tracing. Several news articles from later dates suggest that contact tracing for all the positive cases is being done.

I could not find official confirmation of the same. The official government website as on 05 April states that contact tracing is the responsibility of the doctors treating covid-19.

The government announced on 16 March that companies are allowed to postpone tax payments for one year. The goal is to quickly and to a considerable extent strengthen the liquidity of companies. All companies, regardless of the form of business, will be able to request a deferral of VAT payments, regardless of whether they report their VAT monthly, quarterly or yearly. The rules start to apply on 30 March and 6 April 2020, respectively, depending on how VAT is reported, but can be applied retroactively. https://www.regeringen.se/artiklar/2020/03/forslag-om-likviditetforstarkning-via-skattekontot/

Public transport, work places and schools are not covered by the ban against public gatherings of more than 50 people. The Public Health Agency of Sweden has decided that, for the time being, it is important that public transport continues to operate and that those who are healthy can get to work or school. Workplaces and schools can try to minimize activities when many people gather together. Further guidance will be published. Link: https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/the-public-health-agency-of-sweden/communicable-disease-control/covid-19/ We recommend colleges (gymnasium) universities, and other institutions of higher education or adult learning to provide distance education rather than classes on their premises. This recommendation was issued 18th March 2020. Compared to pupils in schools and preschools, the students in higher education are not dependent on their educational institution for daily care. Higher education also draws students from larger geographical areas. This recommendation aims to decrease the rate of transmission of COVID-19, and thereby protect vulnerable groups and decrease the pressure on healthcare services. https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/the-public-health-agency-of-sweden/communicable-disease-control/covid-19/

As of 15 June 2020 the recommendation ends for upper secondary schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher education or adult learning to provide distance education rather than classes on their premises. The reason is that children and youth to a limited extent have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and few have been in need of intensive care. In the light of current knowledge upper secondary schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher education or adult learning may resume classes on their premises. "For education for adults, however, it will not be possible to return completely to how it was before with the risk of infection spreading."; "For education for adults in the municipal adult education, polytechnic and higher education, further education may need to be given partly at a distance to reduce the spread of infection." --> for this reason, targeted recommendations remain. http://archive.vn/bpkNZ https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2020/05/kravet-pa-distansundervisning-lattas-upp/

There is now an ongoing transmission of COVID-19 in the community in several regions in Sweden. Our advice is therefore that you work from home, if it is possible to do so and if your employer agrees. This is to decrease the speed of transmission and the number of people in need of hospital care. A rapid increase of the number of infected would put unnecessary pressure on healthcare services. By slowing the rate, we give the healthcare system a better chance of coping with the extra burden. From the FAQs at: http://archive.vn/bpkNZ

Short-term layoffs introduced today This proposal means that employers’ wage costs can be halved, in that central government will cover a larger share of the costs. This model is similar to short-time work, but the subsidy level is significantly increased. The employee receives more than 90 per cent of their wage. The aim is to save Swedish jobs. It is proposed that the proposal on short-term layoffs enter into force on 7 April and be in effect throughout 2020, but be applied from today, 16 March. It is proposed that central government assume the entire cost of all sick pay during April and May. Self-employed persons will also be compensated in that they can receive standardised sick pay for days 1–14. https://www.government.se/press-releases/2020/03/short-term-layoffs--strengthened-support-in-2020-for-short-time-work-schemes/ https://tillvaxtverket.se/english/short-time-work-allowance.html

To increase contact tracing and reduce the spread of infection, the Government wants more people to be tested for Covid-19 throughout the country.

Seems to be continuing: Contact tracing is an investigation of how an infected person might have contracted the disease (e.g. COVID-19), including the identification of other people who may be infected or have been exposed to the virus. Contact tracing can be a question of vital importance to prevent further spread or large outbreaks of the disease. Contact tracing seems to be ongoing. http://archive.vn/c2GMP
