STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden set a new daily record for COVID-19 infections, registering 53,619 cases on Jan. 27, health agency data showed on Friday.

The daily infection figures are typically revised somewhat as any delayed records of additional cases are added to the national total for a given day. The previous record, 46,671 cases, was set on Jan. 25.
