Climate activist Greta Thunberg attended the environmental protest held on Fridays in front of the Swedish parliament. She said she will take a break due to the increase in coronavirus cases.

Thunberg stated in her statement on her Twitter account that the epidemic is getting worse. In the country, which did not impose a curfew in the pandemic, 3 thousand 254 cases were detected in the last 24 hours, while 7 people died.

The climate activist announced to her nearly 4 million followers on Twitter that she will now take action online: “115th week of the school strike. Yesterday, new corona virus measures began to be implemented in Stockholm. The situation is getting worse, so I will continue my action again on the online platform (#ClimateStrikeOnline). Take care of yourself and each other.

Since August 2018, Thunberg has been protesting in front of the parliament building in the capital Stockholm, instead of going to school on Fridays, to draw attention to environmental problems.

In March, when the epidemic started to be effective, Greta called on activists to continue their actions on online platforms. In September, she went out again to the streets and continued her actions in front of the parliament. The total number of cases in Sweden was 124 thousand 355 and the loss of life was 5 thousand 938.
