The Finnish government has proposed an extension of restrictions on restaurants, bars and cafés through the end of June. The current rules are in force until the end of February.
The centre-left cabinet submitted the proposed amendment to the Communicable Diseases Act to Parliament on Thursday. The restrictions were temporarily added to the law last May.
Timo Lappi, CEO of the Finnish Hospitality Association (MaRa) says the continuation of restrictions is difficult for the industry, but that he was satisfied with Thursday s decision.
