Finland’s restrictions will be eased so that more countries can enter without being quarantined. According to the new regulations, travelers do not have to isolate themselves if they come from countries with a maximum of 25 infected per 100,000 inhabitants.

Previously, the limit was a maximum of eight infected per 100,000 inhabitants.

“Important for Finland”

The new rules apply from next Saturday. Then it will be free for Swedes, among others, to travel without quarantine requirements.

“This is important for Finland in terms of business travel and also a big problem for Finnair, which is now in a different competitive situation than other European airlines,” Trade and Industry Minister Mika Lintilä told a conference of press on Thursday, according to Yle.

The formal decision on the rule changes is expected at a press conference tomorrow Friday.
