- Objectives: As a risk communication tool, social media was mobilised at an unprecedented level during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined health authorities' risk communication on social media in response to the pandemic in 2020. Methods: We analysed 1,633 COVID-19-related posts from 15 social media accounts managed by official health authorities in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Results: The rate at which the authorities posted about COVID-19 on social media fluctuated throughout 2020. Each account's posting frequency peaked between March and May 2020, before dropping considerably during the summer. The messages that the organisations focused on also varied throughout the year but covered most risk communication guidelines. Yet, our analysis highlighted themes that were communicated infrequently, such as long COVID or exercising during the pandemic. Conclusion: With more individuals now following health authorities on social media, platforms such as Instagram hold great potential for future risk communication campaigns and strategies.

- The Swedish model of policy making consists of (1) an extensive and universal system for social protection, (2) political compromises based on pragmatism and (3) a wide use of expert knowledge in the formulation of public policies. The results have been very positive when it comes to the standard measures of human well-being. Even though Sweden faired quite well compared with other European countries, the high level of mortality among the elderly during the pandemic has been a much discussed weakness of the country’s handling of the pandemic. This chapter addresses the rationale underpinning the Swedish pandemic response including divergences from comparable countries as well as implications of this approach for the Swedish model of policy making.
