Context

With European governments struggling with a 'second-wave' of rising cases, hospitalizations and deaths resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19), I wanted to make a comparative analysis between the data coming out of major European nations since the start of the pandemic.

It has been well publicized that Sweden has taken a different approach to most Western European nations when it comes to public policy regarding COVID-19. This has drawn significant attention from across the world and so, allied to the fact that Sweden publishes it's data in a clear and understandable way that is easy to access, it seemed like a good place to start.

In time, I hope to construct other European national datasets for direct comparison - probably starting with my own country, the United Kingdom.

I also should say I am not an Epidemiologist, Sociologist or even a Data Scientist. I am actually a Mechanical Engineer! The objective here is to improve my data science skills and maybe provide some useful data to the wider community.

The Swedish approach to managing the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic has received significant attention in international scholarly work and the press. For this dataset, we have reviewed governmental and media archives to build a detailed timeline that chronicles significant policies, interventions, and events in the Swedish management of COVID-19. The dataset contains summary descriptions of what took place, when it happened, and who the principal actors involved were. Links to primary sources are provided for each entry. Because of the level of detail and saturation, the dataset offers a detailed account of Swedish pandemic governance and will benefit anyone working on Swedish pandemic management or doing comparative work between Sweden and other jurisdictions.

The dataset contains details on the date an event took place (column 1), tags to facilitate navigation (column 2), details on the principal actors involved in the event (column 3), a summary description of what took place and who was involved (column 4), and links to primary materials (e.g., archival entries) (columns 4-12). Through a structured and detailed outline, the dataset provides a saturated account of policy interventions and events in Sweden during the 2020-21 global COVID-19 pandemic and complements existing and less detailed timelines published at earlier points in the period.
