Downward trend in COVID-19 infections has continued for several weeks
Over the past five weeks, the number of new COVID-19 cases has clearly declined. This is a good sign indicating that the epidemic is calming down in Finland. The current restrictions and recommendations and the closure of businesses serving food and beverages have clearly been effective and prevented infections.
Strategic Director Liisa-Maria Voipio-Pulkki from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, senior medical officer Otto Helve from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare and director Pasi Pohjola from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health were present at the press conference.
