>The prime minister broke no official rules on isolation, as Finnish authorities do not routinely quarantine fully vaccinated individuals, even though they can still transmit Covid. Still, with the misstep she joins a growing list of policy makers disregarding Covid guidance.
Clickbait title as always. Article says she did not learn about the exposure until she came back home.

I forgive her.
Anyone know what nightclub she was at?
I grow increasingly tired of these articles that are much about nothing and create artificial media outrage over an issue where you can quite plausibly understand why Marin did what she did.
The cynic in me says that the media loves this because she is a young, attractive woman in a position of power, and therefore must be treated with as much skepticism over her capabilities as a leader as possible.
Just another example of an official dropping the mask for a moment and revealing how serious they truly consider covid while demanding sacrifice and obedience from the public.
Nothing special unfortunately.

Quoted from this very article. What’s the issue here?
