Finland has registered a record number of new coronavirus infections in the space of a day, driven by the highly contagious Delta variant, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare has said.
The total of 1,024 new infections beats a peak hit in March this year and hospital admissions also increased, reports Reuters.
While Finland remains among the countries least affected by the pandemic, infections began to rise in June and accelerated further in July when soccer fans returned home from Euro 2020 matches abroad.
