It cannot be said that the government's decision to invoke emergency powers has gone without a hitch.
The Association of Editors, Finland's union for media bosses, has asked for more openness about proposals to invoke powers to centralise communications, saying that preparation of legislative proposals should be transparent even during a state of emergency.
The proposal is currently going through the parliamentary process before it comes into force, and the government has apparently asked ministries for comments on the proposals without making that public.
Then on Thursday it appeared that Finland's medicines agency was reluctant to comment on possible problems with the AstraZeneca vaccine because it wasn't sure how clauses related to communications worked.
The national news agency STT reported that reluctance, before it became clear that the government is not planning to invoke provisions that would ban official bodies outside the Prime Minister's office from making public statements.
In any case, the emergency powers intended to expedite effective communication had in fact had the opposite effect — at least initially.
Discrimination fight
Helsingin Sanomat carries an opinion piece from the non-discrimination ombudsman who says that it is currently too difficult for victims of discrimination to claim compensation.
The legal process is complex and expensive, and the tribunal system takes a long time, writes the ombudsman.
That lengthy process means that victims can miss the two-year deadline for claiming compensation — which must be done separately.
The piece cites research showing that some ethnic groups in Finland have to send many times more applications, even with identical qualifications and experience, to get an interview.

Non-alcoholic Alko
Helsingin Sanomat also covers Alko's sales figures from last month, which showed a 10.2 percent increase year-on-year.
Much of that increase was made up of hard alcohol, over which the state-owned chain has a monopoly. But in its press release the company stressed a rise in sales of non-alcoholic drinks.
Young people, says Alko, are increasingly 'sober curious' and willing to try mocktails and other non-inebriating tipples.
Last year the firm says it sold some 571,000 litres of non-alcoholic drinks, which Alko says is nearly enough for one glass each for every resident of Finland.
The vast majority of Alko profits still come from alcohol sales.
School meal nightmares
As Finland ends the first of three weeks of partial shutdown, Ilta-Sanomat has a visual representation of what some school kids are getting for their midday meals.
Grades 7-9 and upper secondary level pupils are remote learning in many parts of the country, and that means they get food parcels from the local authority to provide sustenance during the school day.
Inevitably, the quality varies. Social media has been ablaze with miserable pictures of porridge boxes and sad-looking vegetables, but there are also some municipalities that provide a varied and nutritious package for their young people.
