Marin wrote, I left the European Council meeting as a precautionary measure and asked the Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lfven to represent the Finnish end of the meeting time.
Marin had attended a meeting Wednesday at the Finnish parliament together with lawmaker Tom Packalen who later had tested positive for the coronavirus and had mild flu symptoms.
