The number of infections confirmed in the laboratory has grown steadily during the autumn in Finland. Infections currently occur nationwide in 137 per 100,000 inhabitants, and in some areas a significantly higher number is reported. Central Finland 238 and Päijät-Häme 235 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) recently highlighted Finland on the red map of Europe, which shows that travel to the country is not recommended due to the risk of infection.

“Then there are conspiracies. From east to west, from south to north, all societies are trying to control the disease through vaccinations. Who is the conspiracy against?”
