  2. Number of coronavirus infections down on previous week – strict restrictions still necessary - Ministry of Social Affairs and Health

    1.4.2021 | Slightly fewer new COVID-19 cases were reported in Finland between 22 and 28 March than in the first weeks of the month.

It takes some time for the restrictive measures to take effect, and the number of new cases remains high. Therefore, it is possible that the epidemic could take a rapid turn for the worse.
