Finland Prime Minister issues apology 

However, on Monday, Sanna Marin apologised through a Facebook post and said that she should have double-checked the COVID-19 norms. Penning down a long post, she expressed that she was sorry for not realising that she needed to check the guidelines and use better judgements. Even so, the 36-year-old Prime Minister did not break Finland's public health rules because vaccinated people are not required to quarantine. However, while in contact with someone who tested positive, the guideline advises actively avoiding interaction with people outside the family.
