Eastern border
First, news about Finland’s eastern border.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo says that the border between Finland and Russia will probably remain closed.
The Prime Minister says that Russia’s actions have hardly changed. That is why the government is preparing new measures for the eastern border.

Medicine prices
Then the news about the price of medicines.
Medicines are cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.
The trade association’s report says that over-the-counter medicines are up to 30 percent cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.
Over-the-counter medicines are medicines that can be bought without a prescription.
Prescription drugs are also more than 10 percent cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.
In particular, over-the-counter medicines are much cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.
The price difference is due, for example, to the fact that in Sweden, over-the-counter medicines are also sold in grocery stores and kiosks. It increases price competition.
