Speculation about what the movement restrictions might look like dominate the headlines on Thursday morning.
On Wednesday, Finland's looming lockdown rules were in the hands of MPs from three of the five government parties as negotiations earlier in the week failed to produce a breakthrough.
Based on the government's draft legislation that would come into effect in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Turku, Helsingin Sanomat (HS) has collated a list of what might allowed during the movement restrictions.
According to the paper, leaving the house to buy alcohol would be allowed, while casual dating or going to the hairdressers' would not.
However, there still has not been an agreement among the ruling parties on whether the lockdown legislation should be brought in.
Finland draw in first World Cup qualifier
Finland were held to a 2-2 draw at home against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday evening as they kicked off their campaign to qualify for next year's World Cup Finals in Qatar.
Teemu Pukki scored both Finnish goals, continuing his hot streak in front of goal, but the Eagle-Owls had to settle for a share of the points after the visitors equalised with a late goal. Finland's next game will be against Ukraine on Sunday.
The match prompted a bit of a social media storm when Left Alliance MP and noted football enthusiast Paavo Arhinmäki tweeted a picture from the stadium, just minutes after he had been earnestly debating expected new lockdown rules in parliament.
There were no fans in the stadium because of the pandemic, but Arhinmäki said he was working for the leftist paper Kansan Uutiset.
Arhinmäki's colour piece rails against the rules of the draw, which meant Finland's group now contains Bosnia Herzegovina and Kazakhstan rather than Estonia and Belarus.
Estonia and Belarus are "winter countries", and FIFA said only two could be in the same group. But now Finland will travel to Kiev in March for a match that will likely be played in temperatures close to zero.
Vaccine haul found in Italy
Tabloid Ilta-Sanomat reports on a story about a horde of 29 million AstraZeneca vaccine doses discovered at a Catalent plant near Rome, Italy.
On Wednesday, AstraZeneca stated that of the 29 million vaccines, 16 million were meant for the EU countries, and 13 million were for the global south through the COVAX initiative.
According to the EU's joint vaccine procurement programme, Finland's share of the giant vaccine discovery is 1.23 percent, or 196,800 doses.
AstraZeneca stated the vaccines will be delivered to EU member countries by the end of April.
Use of the AstraZeneca vaccine was suspended in Finland last Friday after two cases of brain blood clots were diagnosed in two individuals who'd received the jab.
However, on Wednesday the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) released a statement saying Finland will resume administering the vaccine from next Monday, but only to people over the age of 65.
How has the pandemic affected peoples' home lives?
Business magazine Talouselämä reports on a survey on how the pandemic has affected peoples' home lives in Finland.
According to the survey, the coronavirus crisis has affected those aged between 25 and 34 the most, 57 percent of whom said they wanted more privacy or their own garden space.
