True, we did not have full lock downs. However there were multiple restrictions in place through various phases of the pandemic. Restaurants/bars/clubs closed at 8 pm as opposed to being open to 1 am/ 3am. Max 4 people at a table (with mandated spacing in between). No events with crowds allowed (all theaters, shows, sporting events etc cancelled/without audience). Masks in subway.

Sweden is also not best in class when it comes to privacy. We've introduced far reaching mass surveillance laws, first aimed at counter terrorism but slowly the allowed usage has widened. There EU chat control bill is not being opposed by the parties in power, nor the largest opposition party.

I would not be surprised if the definition you're talking about changed, although it's not a given. Could go either way.
