Government decides to tighten border traffic
On 22 January, the Government decided at an extraordinary meeting to tighten border traffic and the recommendations on testing and quarantine.
The aim is to prevent the re-escalation of the growth of the COVID-19 epidemic and the spread of the COVID-19 variant in Finland. Should the new virus variant become more widespread, it could result in a potentially much more transmissible epidemic.
