Posti acts according to the instructions provided by Finnish government officials (Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare THL and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health) and protects the health of its personnel and customers according to these instructions.
For the security of supply, socially critical and important items are always delivered first. These include the items related to general safety, such as deliveries of blood and laboratory samples, official announcements as well as other services specified by government officials. Posti plays a major role in maintaining the security of supply.
