One new coro­n­avirus case has been con­firmed in Soite’s area.  Those close to the infect­ed per­son who have been exposed have been con­tact traced and placed in quarantine. 

One COVID-19 patient is cur­rent­ly being treat­ed at Cen­tral Ostrobothnia’s cen­tral hospital. 

In total, 168 cas­es of coro­n­avirus infec­tions have been con­firmed in the hos­pi­tal dis­trict of Cen­tral Ostro­both­nia dur­ing the pan­dem­ic. Link: cur­rent sit­u­a­tion­al pic­ture 

It is very impor­tant that you seek out coro­n­avirus test­ing ear­ly, even if you have only mild symp­toms, so that the chains of infec­tion do not begin to spread! 

We can all impact the coro­n­avirus sit­u­a­tion through our own actions and increase the like­li­hood that we do not infect our loved ones or oth­er peo­ple we meet.  There is still some dis­tance to go before every­one has been giv­en the vac­cine, so keep going just a lit­tle while yet! 

Stop the spread of the coro­n­avirus: 

• Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer frequently 
• Cough in your sleeve or in a tissue 
• Keep a distance to other people 
• Use a mask 
• If you have symptoms, stay at home and seek out coronavirus testing early and even if you have only very mild symptoms 
• Install and use the Koronavilkku coronavirus app 
• When it is your turn, take the coronavirus vaccine.
