An elementary school student has died in Laihia, Ostrobothnia, after diagnosing Covid’s disease. This is the first coronavirus-related death of a child in Finland.
It is still unclear whether the death of the young student was directly due to the virus. Laihia Education Director Markku Laukkonen confirmed that the child was at increased risk for coronavirus.
"A sad incident that has shocked me deeply," Laukkonen said of his death.
Parents and students at Laihia School have been informed of the case with a message from the Wilma system.
The story was first published in a local newspaper in Vaasa Ilkka Pohjalainen on wednesday.
