“If you want to talk about waves, you can think of it as the fourth wave,” Salminen said in an interview with MTV3.

According to him, today Finland is in the same situation as most of Europe, where the infection rate has started to rise.

As Salminen noted, due to the large number of vaccinated people, the disease spreads among those who did not receive the vaccine.

He believes that the return of restrictive measures is inevitable.

Earlier, French government spokesman Gabriel Attal said that France is experiencing the fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
