Helsinki residents will soon have greater access to rapid coronavirus testing, reports Swedish-language Huvfudstadsbladet (HBL).
Authorities at Helsinki and Uusimaa healthcare district HUS are due to roll out a so-called Corona bus that will act as a mobile testing station for city residents. The procurement is now complete and the bus will be ready for use in the next two weeks, perhaps even as soon as next week, HUS Director of Diagnostic Services
Lasse Lehtonen told HBL.
The idea of the bus is to push up testing numbers at locations like construction sites and among immigrant communities which have seen disproportionately high case numbers, HBL writes.

THE PLAY FOR CARBON PRICING: A group of House Democrats is making a push for the Biden administration to include a carbon price as part of its green infrastructure package, going against the grain of the party, which has largely moved on to favor other climate policies.
Rep.
Ted Deutch of Florida told reporters today that he and 28 co-sponsors introduced a carbon tax and dividend bill last week, one that would return the revenue to households, in order to force the policy into negotiations between Congress and the administration.
