Soite’s coro­n­avirus task group informs on the 2nd of Novem­ber 2020

Soite’s coro­n­avirus task group has a meet­ing on Mon­days, Thurs­days and when need­ed and it updates the sit­u­a­tion­al pic­ture. The pre­pared­ness is in accor­dance with plan.

Three new coro­n­avirus cas­es have been con­firmed in Soite’s area dur­ing the week­end. The infec­tions derive from abroad and the pos­i­tive results were con­firmed at a test at the air­port. Those that have been exposed to the virus have been con­tact traced and put into quar­an­tine. Approx­i­mate­ly 40–50 per­sons are now in quar­an­tine in Soite’s area.

The num­bers con­cern­ing the sit­u­a­tion­al pic­ture are updat­ed on Mon­days. In the last 14 days, 12 infec­tions have been con­firmed (2.11.2020). The inci­dence is cur­rent­ly 15.4/100 000 cit­i­zens in Soite’s area when it comes to the last 14 days (2.11.2020). Under 1% of the coro­n­avirus tests are pos­i­tive and over 80 % of the chains of infec­tion are known. Over­all, 94 coro­n­avirus infec­tions have been con­firmed in Cen­tral Ostro­both­nia hos­pi­tal dis­trict dur­ing the whole pan­dem­ic. Link: updat­ed sit­u­a­tion­al picture

Soite’s coro­n­avirus task group wish­es to thank the cit­i­zens in Soite’s area for fol­low­ing the rec­om­men­da­tion on the use of face masks and oth­er instruc­tions con­cern­ing the coro­n­avirus so well. Every­one can affect the coro­n­avirus sit­u­a­tion in the area by fol­low­ing the hygiene instruc­tions. The rec­om­men­da­tion on the use of face masks still applies pre­ven­ta­tive­ly in Soite’s area.

The coro­n­avirus sit­u­a­tion can change very quick­ly. That it is why it is very impor­tant to seek out test­ing ear­ly and even if one only has mild symp­toms. You can con­tact Soite’s infec­tion recep­tion by fill­ing in the coro­n­avirus symp­tom check-up in the Omaolo ser­vice (omaolo.fi). If your symp­toms require it, your con­tact infor­ma­tion can be con­veyed to Soite. Alter­na­tive­ly, you can book a time your­self via Omaolo to a dri­ve-in test­ing site. The coro­n­avirus helpline is open on week­days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on week­ends from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., phone 06 828 7499.
