24.6.2021 | The weekly number of COVID-19 cases in Finland is now down to about one third of what was reported in the first week of May.

3.6.2021 | The COVID-19 situation has improved noticeably in Finland over the past week. There are, however, major regional differences in the development of the epidemic. The incidence of COVID-19 is still higher in southern and southwestern Finland and Central Ostrobothnia than in the rest of the country.

28.1.2021 | The latest COVID-19 figures for Finland show a clear upward trend in the number of new cases. This is following a long period of relative stability in the number of new cases.

12.5.2021 | The decrease in the number of new COVID-19 cases that had continued for weeks stalled between 3 and 9 May. Social contacts outside the family circle played a major role as a source of infection. Local COVID-19 clusters have emerged throughout the country as a result of private Labour Day gatherings, for example. There is a real risk that we will see a resurgence of the epidemic, especially among young adults.https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/1271139/favourable-development-of-covid-19-epidemic-seems-to-have-stalled-in-finland

4.2.2021 | The number of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 continued to grow the week before last, and this trend continued between 25 and 31 January. The positive news is that the number of people tested in the whole of Finland was considerably higher at the end of January than in late December and early January. Contact tracing works well in municipalities although it takes a lot of hard work. It is essential to trace and break new chains of transmission quickly.https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/1271139/m

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. The current restrictions and recommendations and the closure of businesses serving food or beverages seem to have slowed down the spread of the epidemic. 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.https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/1271139/number-of-coronavirus-infections-down-on-previous-week-strict-restrictions-still-necessary

17.6.2021 | The COVID-19 epidemic has continued to subside throughout Finland within the last two weeks.

Overall, the COVID-19 situation is calm, with most areas recording only a small number of new cases. The estimated effect...https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/1271139/covid-19-epidemic-continues-to-subside-in-finland-combating-epidemic-also-important-in-summertime
