Four new coro­n­avirus infec­tions have been con­firmed in Soite’s area

Four new coro­n­avirus infec­tions have been con­firmed in Soite’s area dur­ing the week­end. The infec­tions are con­nect­ed to the ear­li­er chain of infec­tions in the Kru­unupyy area, which we informed about for the first time on the 12^th of Novem­ber 2020. The infec­tions start­ed to spread at a fam­i­ly event, which has now lead to 11 infections.

The infec­tions are con­nect­ed to mass expo­sures. The num­ber of exposed per­sons is approx­i­mate­ly 70.

Soite’s chief physi­cian of infec­tious dis­eases Marko Rahko­nen rec­om­mends that gath­er­ings and hob­bies are still avoid­ed in the Kru­unupyy area, so that the coro­n­avirus sit­u­a­tion calms down in the area and fur­ther infec­tions are avoided.

In all, 111 coro­n­avirus infec­tions have now been con­firmed in Cen­tral Ostro­both­nia hos­pi­tal dis­trict dur­ing the whole pandemic.
