The data consists of transcripts of media conferences organised by the Finnish Government on measures to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic. The media conferences were mainly attended by Prime Minister Sanna Marin, the Prime Minister's Cabinet Ministers, national authorities, various experts and media representatives.

The media conferences provide an update on the coronavirus pandemic, as well as information on government policies and restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease. The focus will be on protecting citizens and at-risk groups from the disease and on safeguarding health and critical care capacity by slowing the progress of the epidemic. The material also addresses how to support and strengthen the national economy in the aftermath of the crisis. It also describes the Emergency Powers Act legislation, state of emergency and the removal of restrictions.

Background information includes the duration of the media conference and the name of the file, which indicates the time and subject of the media conference. The data were organised into an easy to use HTML version at FSD.
