The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached the Åland Islands, an autonomous region of Finland, in March 2020.

Background[]

On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[2][3]

The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[4][5] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[6][4]

Timeline[]

On 22 March 2020, the first case in the Åland Islands was confirmed.[7]
