On March 1, local time, Finland declared a state of emergency in response to the deteriorating new crown epidemic in recent days.
Recently, due to the emergence of a mutated new coronavirus in Finland, the epidemic situation in the country has continued to deteriorate.
In view of this, the authorities decided to declare a state of emergency.
With this move, the Finnish government will have the power to close restaurants, further close schools, and restrict the movement of people between regions.
Although Finland is one of the countries least affected by the epidemic in Europe, clusters of epidemics have recently occurred in many parts of the country, and the number of confirmed cases has risen rapidly. The cumulative number of confirmed cases has exceeded 58,000, and more than 700 people have died.
