Tegnell is moving up and out to WHO. He steps out from FHM on the eve of the Ides of March. Et tu, Brutus.
Tegnell will be part of lining up the WHO, UNICEF, and the Gavi Vaccine Alliance (successor to the children's vaccine initiative or something like that).

As of earlier this week, Sweden's reported Covid-19 death count was up to at least 17,391 deaths.
So Sweden's Covid-19 deaths per capita appears to have come in: around 2x the Danish number of Covid-19 deaths per capita; over 5x the Norwegian number of Covid-19 deaths per capita; and over 3x the Finnish number of Covid-19 deaths per capita.

Of course he has, we only need to give him Gotland before this break-through can be shared with us.

He cured most of Sweden’s TV coverage of Covid-19 , but he stoked Sweden’s fears that Gotland is some kind of ultra-valuable prize nowadays. Russia certainly isn’t killing as many people in Sweden nowadays as Covid-19, but Swedish fear of Russia isn’t novel. Perhaps if COVID-19 was originally attributed to spread from Russia, then Sweden may have taken it more seriously. But this is a lot like how SD is with refugees in Sweden: they change gear based on whatever narrative is part and parcel of reinforcing long-standing prejudices while more novel threats are not taken seriously like old threats.

Next month Sweden wants to start with allowances for full border controls again -- controls that will most directly (and negatively) hit regular commuters/travelers taking the bridge between Denmark and Sweden but also some others interested in using surface transport means to enter Sweden. The Swedish line being used to justify this intra-Schengen border control this time has something to do with Ukrainian refugee arrivals in Sweden. 
The Swedish door is currently wide open to Ukrainian refugees who make it to Sweden.

Sweden’s Covid-19 death count is now above 18,020.
The Swedish border controls don’t always make sense, and yet they happen.. Plenty of examples of that during this pandemic too.
Controlling an island in the middle of a sea is not necessarily sufficient nowadays to dominate shipping across a sea at the sole whim of an island controller. The Persian Gulf is a case in point in the more modern era where island holding is not equivalent to domination over the whole sea’s shipping.

The border control infrastructure/build-outs/processes used for one purpose in Sweden can be used for other purposes too. Sweden’s border controls during the pandemic are a case in point of doing just that by using what was built and used before the pandemic. m

That's fine and feel free to open a border policy thread in the Nordic Region forum but it's off topic in this one. Some people are interested in covid development in Sweden (or elsewhere) but not in whether Swedish police checks IDs at the border. Back when covid requirements existed at the border, it made sense to discus it here, but these days there are no covid restrictions, except at the external border (which in case of Sweden means airports and to limited extent sea ports).

Tourists are already allowed to transit ARN. The requirements to do so are a function of government decisions about what those conditions are or will be.
