Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marinin is concerned about possible new variants of the coronavirus that may be resistant to vaccines.

“I’m worried about what happens next fall or next spring. It may be that this is not even a marathon, but we will be in this situation for years to come,” she told reporters when he went to the board evening school at the Helsinki Estates House on Wednesday afternoon.

Marin said that she had constantly emphasized at EU meetings the need to create a common “emergency procedure” at the borders of EU countries, which would prevent the spread of viral variants in the event of their occurrence. “We need consistent practices across the EU.”
