After a week of stability, a big leap in new #Covid19 infections in #Finland today.
863 new cases represents a 69% rise on last Sunday.
No indication yet if there are backlogged cases in that surprisingly large total. The effects of lockdown should see cases fall now.

#Cyprus struggling too...
374 new #Covid19 cases, up 24%.
The 7-day infection rate is still climbing steeply, now at 452 AD/M.
But always worth repeating the Cypriots are mass testing and positive test rate remains under 1%.
