Document: The copyright holder for this preprint . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.11.20062133 doi: medRxiv preprint Since lack of mechanical ventilation will likely result in death for patients who would otherwise need it, it is worthwhile to consider alternative public-health intervention strategies to reduce the load on the healthcare system. The most stringent control measures considered resulted in at least a 50% reduction in the need for ICU capacity, bringing it to within an order of magnitude of pre-pandemic levels, with decline already beginning in late April. The predicted ICU capacity requirements associated with each public-health policy choice modelled are plotted in Figure 3 . Because of Sweden's low number of ICU beds per capita 22 24 , it likely had a high ICU-bed occupancy before the pandemic, so not all ventilators and staff will be available for COVID-19 patients even if all elective procedures are halted.
