"The Swedish approach has been to put social distancing and less public activity in place without closing businesses and public services. To counteract the economic effects for workers, adjustments have been made in the unemployment benefit, sickness benefit and an enforced system for part time furlough has been put in place. Parents receive parental leave benefits for staying home with sick children according to the ordinary system."
