Finland will begin gradually easing COVID-19 restrictions from Tuesday (Feb. 1) instead of mid-February as initially planned as the burden on its hospitals eases, the government said late on Thursday (Jan. 27).
On January 18, Prime Minister Sanna Marin said Finland would begin scaling back restrictions from mid-February.
“The burden on intensive care units has taken a turn in a better direction,” Finland’s minister for health and social affairs Hanna Sarkkinen told reporters.
