Sweden has roughly the same population as Czech Republic. There has been pretty strong lockdown since the beginning of March, which appears to have been successful and is now slowly being lifted. There have been 263 death so far and the number of new infection has been under 100 per day for more than a week and is generally trending down.
In comparison Sweden now has 3040 dead and more than 600 new cases during the last 3 days, with no downward trend.
I don't think you can call this successful & I'm not sure how are they going to get out of this with such a sustained infection rate, if their neighbors can get things under control & minimize new infections. That could kinda turn Sweden into a plague lang that risks spreading infection in countries that handled the infection responsibly.
