Finland's PM Sanna Marin said she was told by an official that the COVID guidelines did not require her to isolate, despite having been in contact with an infected person.

Sanna Marin, 36, apologised on Monday after a gossip magazine published photos of her attending a Helsinki nightclub on Saturday night until almost four in the morning, hours after her Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto tested positive for coronavirus.

"I should have used better judgement and double-checked the guidance given to me. I am very sorry for not understanding that I needed to do that," Marin wrote. Finance Minister Annika Saarikko from the Centre Party, the ruling coalition partner, stopped short of criticising Marin directly.

The country has also recorded eight cases of the new Omicron variant.On Monday, magazine Seiska reported that Marin was seen in the Butchers nightclub in Helsinki, dancing with friends until nearly four.
