(26 Jun 2021) Finnish health authorities have detected a spike in coronavirus cases that has been traced to soccer fans returning from neighboring Russia following European Championship matches in St. Petersburg.
The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare has urged “all passengers who have traveled from St. Petersburg to Finland by any bus company to apply for a coronavirus test.”
Finland played two of its Euro 2020 group games in St. Petersburg.
The team faced Russia on June 16 and Belgium on Monday. At least 2,000 Finns are estimated to have traveled to the city for those matches.
The Finns finished in third place in their group and were eliminated.
Russia was also eliminated after finishing last.
St. Petersburg hosted six games in the group stage of the tournament and will host one of the four quarter final matches on Friday.
