HELSINKI — Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin apologised to the public on Wednesday (Dec 8) after a photo surfaced of her in a nightclub following the foreign minister testing positive for Covid-19.

"I did wrong. I should have considered the situation more carefully," Ms Marin said in a television interview by public broadcaster Yle on Wednesday night.

Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen went to a dinner party on Saturday while Finance Minister Annika Saarikko and Science and Culture Minister Antti Kurvinen cancelled their attendance of the same event to avoid contacts, evening paper Ilta-Sanomat reported on Tuesday. "He said ministers would not be quarantined because they all have been vaccinated twice," Ms Marin wrote on Facebook, explaining why she continued socializing.
