They also just started looking at increase in general deaths to see if any are related to corona. I think there will be a jump in the numbers soon.
(Since this will probably come up: Despite popular belief, Sweden _is_ under partial lockdown)

But I'm sure you'll find it true in any country that those deaths are under reported to some extent due to some lack of testing before the first clinical diagnosis of covid in a facility earlier on in the pandemic.
Tracking this stuff is really messy, when testing just isn't available universally, and current tests are only a point-in-time confirmation. We won't have much more accurate statistics until there's a test that can tell if you were infected at some point (forget the name for that type of test).
Our prime minister said it accounted for over half of the deaths.
The official government stats publishes both numbers (death at hospital / death in care facilities).

Sweden has implemented voluntary restrictions on social contacts as well as a partly enforced limit on social gatherings. Some gatherings of more than 50 people are left alone by the police, e.g. recent demonstrations by illegal immigrants in Gothenburg were and are allowed to continue [1].

Here's the Swedish police giving some insight in how locked down Sweden is, run it through a translation site or just look at the image to understand that 'lockdown' is not the right term for how things are handled here.
