Local updates on the new coronavirus
I would like to report the situation in Finland. The number of infected people per day is 0 to 22 (22 yesterday), and the death toll is 0 to 1.
Regarding borders, Finland has reopened its borders with Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on June 15. At the moment, we are planning to reopen the border with the EU and outside the Schengen region from July 15, but there is a high possibility that the border reopening will be extended due to circumstances. Currently, entry to Finland is limited to the return of foreigners with a residence permit to Finland, the return via Finland, the departure of foreigners and necessary travel. Necessary movements include, for example, persons engaged in insurance and care for the elderly, diplomats and craftsmen of international organizations, and persons who enter the country with a residence permit in Finland.
State of the local town
The area around Helsinki became lively with the good summer weather. There are many people enjoying the city outside, but the number of people infected is still unaffected. Many people follow social distances and use disinfectants, but few people wear masks anywhere.
You can freely use public transportation in Japan. The number of people using the subway, transportation, trains, etc. is increasing, but it is still a little less than ordinary people.
State of sightseeing spot
Shopping centers, hotels, museums, libraries, zoos and aquariums have been reopened since June 1, but there are restrictions on the number of people.
The number of people eating and drinking at restaurants and cafes is increasing, and many people are exploring the city outside. There are restrictions on the number of people at restaurants.
The number of public meetings and events is limited to 50 people. Meetings and events of 50 to 500 people are possible with special safety arrangements. Locally, gatherings and events of more than 500 people are prohibited until the end of June.
Consideration for tour operation
Tours in Finland are available. In order to provide a tour that customers can join with peace of mind, we have installed disinfectant and masks on the tour.
