Protection of forests

First, news about forest protection.

The government has decided what kind of old forests Finland will start protecting.

Ministers Kai Mykkänen and Sari Essayah told about the government’s decisions yesterday.

For example, the government has decided that an old forest can be protected if it is at least 100 years old.

Also, for example, the tree species in the forest affect whether the forest can be protected.

The government has therefore decided on the protection of old forests.

The government praises the conservation decisions, but the opposition disagrees. In the opinion of the opposition, there are too many forests outside of protection.

New scabies medicine

Then the medicine news.

Pharmacies will soon start selling a new scabies medicine.

Scabies is a skin rash, the symptom of which is severe itching.

The authorities have given a marketing authorization to a new Swedish medicine for scabies.

They are trying to get it to pharmacies in Finland quickly, because the old scabies medicines no longer work well.

Pharmacies will start selling the new scabies medicine soon.

That’s good news for many, because scabies abounds these days.

Scabies is caused by a microscopic mite that lives on the human skin.

Doctors don’t know why there are more scabies today than before.
