Sweden
The situation
Infectious disease
While immigration to Sweden has been a consistent pattern for decades following World War II, Sweden has long been a place of refuge for people fleeing war and violent conflict.
Following the outbreak of war in Syria, the number of asylum application to Sweden reached its peak at over 160,000 in 2015. Between 2014 and 2018, Syrians made the largest immigrant group in Sweden.
