One new coronavirus case has been confirmed in Soite’s area
The situation today
One new coronavirus case has been confirmed in Soite’s area. The infection is part of an earlier chain of infections. Three persons who have been infected with the coronavirus are cared for at the Central Ostrobothnian Central Hospital.
We ask all who have even just mild symptoms that fit the coronavirus to seek out coronavirus testing. One should not move outside the home even if one only has mild symptoms!
We wish to remind everyone that coronavirus tests associated with work or holiday travel are done in the private sector or in the occupational health services. Soite’s infection receptions (infektiovastaanotto) and the paediatric emergency clinic (lasten päivystys) only take coronavirus tests for persons with symptoms of the coronavirus and tests associated with entering the country.
Information on the coronavirus situation
As of now, the situational picture regarding the coronavirus epidemic in Soite’s area is updated on Mondays and Thursdays. We will also inform whenever the regional COVID-19 group of authorities has a meeting.
We will inform about the coronavirus situation outside of the planned schedule only if the situational picture changes significantly. We will not, for example, inform about new coronavirus cases that have been confirmed during the weekend until after the weekend, unless the results are anomalous in some way or cause a particular risk.
