HELSINKI (AFP) - Finland's prime minister came under sustained criticism on Tuesday (Dec 7) after it was revealed she stayed out dancing until the early hours at the weekend despite knowing she had been exposed to Covid-19.
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.
