"The figures are based on laboratory-confirmed figures. There can be delays and regional variations in notifications and in the reporting of figures.

"It has been possible to report laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases to the National Infectious Diseases Register since 19 March 2020. Laboratories attempt to start using the National Infectious Diseases Register so that the data in the register will match the case numbers of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases. Hospital districts and THL are working together to ensure that the National Infectious Diseases Register is up to date as quickly as possible."

No data available during the summer break from July 18 to July 31, 2022, because of the summer break of the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).
