As a part of this course, we go through the Finland secrets of successful dealing with COVID-19 pandemic management and prevention. We study the story of how the country can now be seen as Europe's success story in tackling COVID-19 with mortality and infection rates falling and a positive approach by people to restrictions and proper social distancing.
While millions of people across European countries have been faced to lockdown measures to tackle the resurging of coronavirus, Finland is resisting the trend of COVID-19 infection with implementing an effective track-and-trace system preventing the need of a new lockdown. On the next-door Sweden has done much attention in a light-touch model to response the pandemic, while Finland has considerably success to keep the level of coronavirus infection five times below the EU average and the country reduced the number of deaths per capita as one-tenth of its Scandinavian neighbor. In addition, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Finland has been much lower than its neighbors in Nordic region, Europe and Asia.
