Three new coro­n­avirus cas­es have been con­firmed in Soite’s area

Three new coro­n­avirus cas­es have been con­firmed in Soite’s area. The infec­tions are con­nect­ed to the chain of infec­tions that was con­firmed in Ylläs. When it comes to two of the infect­ed per­sons, the exposed per­sons have been traced and put into quar­an­tine. There are in all 15 exposed per­sons con­nect­ed to these two infec­tions. The con­tact trac­ing of exposed per­sons con­nect­ed to the third infec­tion is under­way. The infec­tions have, how­ev­er, not led to mass exposure.

One of the infect­ed per­sons works in Soite. Thanks to good pro­tec­tive mea­sures, only one per­son has been exposed, and the exposed per­son is not Soite’s client.

Every­one has only mild symp­toms and the infect­ed per­sons are cared for at home.

Ten coro­n­avirus cas­es have been con­firmed in Soite’s area dur­ing the past two weeks. In all, 50 coro­n­avirus cas­es have now been con­firmed in Cen­tral Ostro­both­nia health care dis­trict dur­ing the pan­dem­ic. The sit­u­a­tion­al pic­ture is updat­ed on Mon­days when it comes to incidence.
