Virology professor Toivo Maimets, who is to head up the new composition of the government's Covid advisory body, the scientific council, has proposed North Estonia Medical Center chief-of-medicine and surgery professor Peep Talving to continue together in the council.

The Ministry of Social Affairs hopes that from next year, however, that situation will improve.
