Questions and answers
-
The restriction applies to businesses such as cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs that are open to the general public. The temporary closure also applies to outdoor terraces and to cafes and restaurants that are connected to other premises, such as service stations, or are located inside stores.
The restrictions apply to food and beverage service businesses in areas where the COVID-19 epidemic is in the acceleration or community transmission phase. They do not apply to businesses in areas where the epidemic is at a stable level.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
The legislation does not prevent you from changing the operating concept of your restaurant into a staff restaurant that serves meals only to a limited group of persons.
However, it is advisable to implement this change in the operating concept in a way that is transparent to customers, to avoid giving the impression of discrimination against certain types of customers.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
The restaurant closure does not apply to staff restaurants that serve food to a community’s own personnel or another limited group of people. The key question is whether the restaurant is open to the general public or only to a limited number of people.
Canteens in residential homes for older people, hospitals, garrisons, prisons, daycare centres and schools, as well as other staff canteens closed to the general public, may remain open. However, they must still comply with the other restrictions imposed due to COVID-19.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
In line with the government proposal, the closure applies to all food and beverage service businesses that are open to the public. No exception has been made for the restaurants and cafes in service stations, so they are also required to close.
However, this does not mean that the entire service station has to close; it only applies to customers dining in restaurant premises. Restaurants would still be allowed to sell food to customers for takeaway, and any shops and sanitary facilities at service stations could remain open.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
Restaurants are not permitted to sell alcoholic beverages to customers for on-site consumption. There are a few hundred restaurants in Finland that have applied for a retail sale licence for alcoholic beverages. These licence holders will be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages containing no more than 5.5 per cent by volume of ethyl alcohol to customers for takeaway, as long as they comply with the provisions of the Alcohol Act. Retail sales in restaurants are comparable to alcohol sales in grocery stores.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
Restaurants and cafes are allowed to sell meals and beverages for takeaway, either directly to the customer, or for delivery. Restaurants can organise the delivery to the customer’s home themselves or using other service providers.
Customers can also purchase takeaway meals they put together themselves from a buffet.
However, customers are not permitted to consume their meals or beverages inside the cafe or restaurant, or on an outdoor terrace.
Restaurants and cafes selling products for takeaway must make careful arrangements to ensure that no contact is made with customers that could cause a risk of infection.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
The classification of regions into the baseline, acceleration and community transmission phases of the epidemic is based on the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health’s action plan for implementing the hybrid strategy to manage COVID-19.
The scope of application of the restrictions under the Communicable Diseases Act and the Act on Accommodation and Catering Operations is laid down by separate government decree according to the epidemiological situation. See the answer to the question “How does a business owner know if they have to close their customer premises or whether their business is subject to the restrictions?”

-
Provisions on the regions subject to the closure of customer premises will be laid down by government decree.
The temporary closure applies to food and beverage service businesses in areas where it is necessary in order to curb the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, i.e. in areas where the epidemic is in the acceleration or community transmission phase.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
The temporary closure of restaurants and other food and beverage service businesses is one of the measures taken by the Government to prevent the rapid acceleration of the COVID-19 epidemic and to curb the spread of more infections virus variants. The proposal is based on the Government’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Finland.
People engage in close social interaction in restaurants, cafes and licensed premises, making it easy for the virus to spread through droplet transmission. In addition, the new virus variants are significantly accelerating the spread of the epidemic.
However, food and beverages may still be sold to customers for takeaway, either for customers to pick up themselves or delivered to their homes.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
-
Restaurants and other food and beverage service businesses will be closed to customers until 18 April.
Provisions on the regions subject to the closure of customer premises will be laid down in a Government Decree. Under the Act, the Government must amend the Decree if closure in a region is no longer necessary.

After the closure ends, restrictions on food and beverage service businesses will continue based on the provisions of the Communicable Diseases Act and the Government Decree issued under it. The President of the Republic is expected to approve the amendments to the Communicable Diseases Act on Friday 16 April 2021.
