A total of €8,000 has been paid out to four successful coronavirus vaccination compensation claimants, according to data from the Estonian Health Insurance Fund.
Around half the €260 million in funds allocated for 2021 in a supplementary budget aimed at mitigating the effects of the coronavirus pandemic had been used up as of the end of June. Hundreds of millions of euros in other support measures has also been used.
The largest single component was made up of support measures for the tourism sector, under the direction of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, while a large proportion was made up of healthcare-related costs, channeled via the social affairs ministry. Unemployment costs also rose, and funds from the supplementary budget were used for this purpose as well.
