The prime minister said that on account of her recent intense travel schedule, she had taken home tests regularly and the results had been negative earlier during the week.

National broadcaster Yle reported that Marin was present at a parliament session Tuesday and hosted the traditional summer celebration of the cabinet parties in her official residence in the evening.

Marin traveled a week ago to Washington DC and spent several days there. (ANI/Xinhua)
