UK,Sweden,Brazil Have Highest COVID Deaths; Sweden's Lax Restrictions Have Negative Impact

The UK continues to rank as one of the worst hit countries by COVID-19 deaths per million, the Yahoo News website reports today (March 26, 2020).

Figures compiled by Oxford University show that despite a continuous fall in coronavirus fatalities, only Sweden and Brazil are suffering worse daily death rates.

Both have been highlighted for how they have covered the coronavirus pandemic, with Sweden having more lax restrictions than any other country and Brazil's president often playing down the virus's deadliness.

The data shows the UK's seven-day average up to May 26 was 4.46 confirmed deaths per million, with Sweden on 4.68 and Brazil on 4.49.
