Abstract
A case study has been conducted to substantiate the effects of the lockdown imposed on the Uusimaa area in Finland. In particular, the case study aims to find out if the Uusimaa lockdown has mitigated the spread of the coronavirus from Uusimaa to other parts of Finland. The study shows that after the lockdown was imposed, it took approximately two weeks before the daily count of new COVID-19 cases outside the Uusimaa area reached its peak and started to decrease. The phenomenon aligns with the findings of relevant studies that a peak in the curve of diagnosed cases of infection occurs 14 to 18 days from lockdown. It also emerges that the lifting of the lockdown on Uusimaa caused immediate outflowing mobility but did not result in an increased number of new cases in other parts of Finland.
