The Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaja Kallas, has expressed the hope that the prevalence of Covid-19 in the country will soon diminish so that restrictions can be lifted and the public can live more freely in the summer than at present, reports Estonian public media ERR.
Monday, April 26, in an interview with the radio station Vikerradio The head of government explained that as summer approaches, it is important to vaccinate as many people as possible. Compared to the summer of 2020 and last winter, it should also be taken into account that approximately 400,000 Estonians currently have Covid-19 antibodies.
“My view is that when we know that new autumn is coming [slimības] waves, there must be some time to take a breath. When the infection rate falls, we can act freely in society to be prepared for the situation to get worse, »Kallas has outlined the Estonian government’s vision for the coming months.
