In short, the director of health security at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (governmental health authority), Prof. Mika Salminen, issued a statement that Covid-19 is not as deadly as it was feared in the spring.

"In the spring, it looked like the people who got Covid-19 also got severely ill. That is not how it looks like to us anymore. I also spoke with my Spanish colleagues. In the spring, 47% of Covid-19 patients required hospitalization. Now it's just 4%."

While the number of Covid-19 positive tests in Finland has been increasing for some time, the number of hospitalizations and deaths remains very low.

He attributes the decrease in lethality to improved understanding of the disease, better testing and diagnostics, as well as advances in treatment.

"People are also getting better at taking proper precautions."

He adds that he doesn't want to belittle the gravity of the disease in the case of elder people.
