One new coro­n­avirus case has been con­firmed in Soite’s area

One new coro­n­avirus case has been con­firmed in Soite’s area. The infec­tion is relat­ed to the chain of infec­tion in Skelleft­eå, which we informed about this week­end. In rela­tion to the chain of infec­tion in Skelleft­eå, dozens of peo­ple have been placed in quar­an­tine in Soite’s area in order to pre­vent fur­ther infections. 

Employ­ees at North­volt who have returned to Fin­land from Skelleft­eå after Sat­ur­day the 23rd of Jan­u­ary 2021 are still urged to seek out coro­n­avirus test­ing. In this excep­tion­al case, coro­n­avirus test­ing should be sought out even if one has no symp­toms. Going to a test is nec­es­sary even if a neg­a­tive coro­n­avirus test has been tak­en at the fac­to­ry or at the west­ern bor­der. In these cas­es, the inter­val between the tests must be at least 72 h. The coro­n­avirus epi­dem­ic is wors­en­ing in Skelleft­eå and cas­es of the mutat­ed virus which orig­i­nates from Britain have been con­firmed at Northvolt’s factory.
