The source adds the following information: "The figures are based on laboratory-confirmed figures collected manually by THL directly from the hospital districts. It has been possible to report laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases to the National Infectious Diseases Register since 19 March 2020. All laboratories have not yet provided up-to-date information. Laboratories will attempt to start using the National Infectious Diseases Register during this week so that the data in the register will match the case numbers of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Initially, there will be delays and regional variations in notifications and in the reporting of figures. The actual number of COVID-19 infections in Finland is likely higher than reported since not all people with mild symptoms are tested. Hospital districts and THL are working together to ensure that the National Infectious Diseases Register is up to date as quickly as possible."
