Finland s largest circulation daily, Helsingin Sanomat, is among the papers reporting that Prime Minister
Sanna Marin (SDP) told the media on Wednesday evening that the government will not, at least yet, be seeking to re-activate the Emergency Powers Act to deal with the resurgence of the coronavirus in the country.
However, she did announce that all parliamentary parties are being invited to take part in a discussion on the situation this coming Monday.
It is the government s view that the conditions required to activate emergency powers have not yet been met. The prime minister pointed out, however, that expert opinion is that the situation could change quickly.
