VOA News

   Sweden's prime minister announced Thursday he has gone into protective
   self-isolation after a person close to him encountered someone who
   tested positive for the coronavirus.

   The country is experiencing an autumn surge of infections.

   From his Facebook account, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said that on
   his doctor's advice, he and his wife, Ulla, were self-isolating, even
   though they have no symptoms. He said it was "the only responsible
   thing to do in this situation."
