Marin learned on Saturday that she had contracted the coronavirus. She said she did not quarantine because she received two shots, explaining why she decided to continue chatting and dancing in a crowded nightclub.
Sanna Marin was not the only quarantine violator in the country. Economy Minister Mika Lintilä attended a floorball match between Finland and Latvia on Sunday, despite being advised to avoid contact with others after contracting COVID-19.
Another foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday and that did not stop him from attending the ministerial meeting.
In turn, the head of the Finnish government, Sanna Marin, at a press conference on Wednesday, publicly apologized for participating in a festive party last Saturday, although she had to go to self-isolation.
“I should have known all the instructions. I take personal responsibility for this lack of information. Steps should be taken to ensure that this does not happen again in the future. I should have had better control over the instructions. I apologize for this situation, I did not act in the best way.” – said Marin.
