An extensive recommendation on the use of face masks is in effect in Central Ostrobothnia. A face mask is one method for preventing the spread of coronavirus infections.
Use of a face mask is recommended for all persons older than 12, even those who have been vaccinated:
- in public places such as shops and in other places outside the home
- in public transport, in school transport and when transporting people who belong to a risk group
- when going to a social or health care unit
- when going to a coronavirus test
- Use of face masks is also recommended in other situations, both indoors and outdoors, if it is impossible to maintain social distances.
Stop the coronavirus from spreading:
- If you have symptoms, stay at home and seek out coronavirus testing early and even if you only have mild symptoms
- Use a mask
- Wash your hands
- Cough into your sleeve or into a handkerchief
- Keep a distance (2 metres!) to other people
- Install and use the Koronavilkku coronavirus app
- Get vaccinated when it's your turn
