No real point in comparing case counts at such different times though. The previous peak was right when tests finally had opened up for essentially everyone in the Stockholm and some other regions starting from the first week of June. Previously only severely ill and essential workers could get tested.
The current case count is when everyone in the entire country can get tested without question. People at work having some easy sniffles get sent home and tested the same or next day to not have to substitute them for weeks on end.
The ICU and fatalities rate had already been peaked in early April and correlating the actual spread to those numbers the number of cases already have been trending down for some time.

Also keep in mind, for the Swedish data the PHA takes time to have every case and death be allocated to the correct date, and not when they got the report.
