I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, -- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:38, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
The THL website yesterday (26/03) reported 5 dead; later this was rolled back to 4, with no explanation (AFAIK) of why. I'll try to keep an eye on that... DoubleGrazing ( talk) 08:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
There's now a bit of confusion in the daily case data from the end of March through the beginning of April. The Helsinki Sanomat apparently stopped updating its own public database, and the Finnish national health institute began making its national disease register-derived data publically available in machine-readable format. I'd clean up the disease progression chart if I could, but I simply cannot find any reliable source of information online about the daily case increases in that period. Everywhere seems to have gotten thrown off by the transition. For now, the information on this wikipedia page for those dates cannot be taken as accurate. When it DOES get cleaned up (as much as it can be), some explanation ought to be given as footnotes to the chart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BA:8054:8900:492E:C17D:731:2CE4 ( talk) 09:20, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
The 300 was an error in the number of recoveries; I've fixed that. Finnish health authorities simply gave up on both recovery and origin tracking early on, which is why the 10 number has frozen. The addition of 247 cases on 4.4 I feel is correct and should stand. THL itself has backdated most of these new cases to the preceding days, saying they want to record them on the date tests were given, even if results are found several days later. I feel this is not comparable to other countries' health authorities and will be confusing, if we are always supposed to ignore the past few days while pending tests results roll in. I recommend that we simply update the chart each day with the [daily count published by THL]( https://thl.fi/fi/web/infektiotaudit-ja-rokotukset/ajankohtaista/ajankohtaista-koronaviruksesta-covid-19/tilannekatsaus-koronaviruksesta) to reflect simply the number of cases known at that date. There is also some discussion of THL's backdating approach in the Talk page for the case timeline chart itself. ABR ( talk) 06:28, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
I don't have a clear opinion, how we should present the data. However, I believe we should select either way, not mix them. I agree with Positivity1, that updating the cases by the sample date requires quite much effort, and I probably won't be updating the figures, if we go that way. If I checked it correctly, on 8th Apr THL allocated 179 new cases for the following sample dates: 26 Mar: 1, 2 Apr: 2, 3 Apr: 1, 4 Apr: 4, 5 Apr: 12, 6 Apr: 73, 7 Apr: 86. The chart can be corrected either way. THL keeps a record of cases by the sample date, and various news sources have reported the daily figures by the result date. Niemri ( talk) 04:02, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
The total cases data seemed to be culled from YLE ( https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-11300232 ) which does not exactly match the data from the THL karttasovellus (thl.fi/koronakartta). These sources disagree slightly and the YLE data is a bit harder to extract as one must either scroll over each date or parse the source, read the bar height and divide by 1.74 (this might be also be system/browser dependent). Additionally, it is not possible in the yle data to properly align the x-axis as the labels are placed only approximately. I presume the THL data is more reliable, but it only goes as far back as 9.4. I therefore used the THL data where available and to align the x-axis, but continued using the YLE data for the historical data preceding 9.4 (Levi Keller) 85.76.106.88 ( talk) 18:35, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
The data from THL for the full range can be extracted easily from the source for the cumulative view. Data now reflects sample date. 91.155.192.127 ( talk) 10:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

I think it would be beneficial if main article has some information about recent covid cases spike after football fans arriving from Russia.
