The COVID-19 epidemic is divided into three phases and tiers of prevention measures.
Clear reduction in number of COVID-19 cases — positive trend must continue before restrictions can be eased
The number of new COVID-19 cases reported in Finland has decreased noticeably over the past few weeks. The number started to fall before Easter. The current restrictions and recommendations and the closure of businesses serving food and beverages have clearly been effective and prevented infections. Vaccinations have also reduced infections, particularly among older people.
