Fig 2a-c. Number of deaths per day (moving average) and cumulative mortality. Generally reported Covid-19 related deaths per day in the Nordics is now 0 or 1 except in Sweden where ~20/day (compared to early April when >100/day). 3/x
Fig 3a-d. Geographical differences within Finland: Number of persons in care/day and daily verified diagnoses by the five “specialised medical care regions” (for the whole period and starting 8th of June). 4/x
There have been some clusters of infections in Finland, mostly among foreign construction workers, which can be seen in fig 3d in Turku area. This seems to follow the same pattern as in for example Singapore where the living conditions of foreign workers contribute to spread. 5/x
Proportion of positive of those tested in Sweden is still very high ~10%; nr of tests per capita roughly the same as in Finland where ~0.5% positive. So the spread is still at very different level in Sweden. 6/x
