COVID-19 vaccines effectively prevent severe forms of the disease and curb the spread of the virus. We hope that all participants protect themselves and others by having taking the vaccine.
General mask recommendation is being lifted, but masks may still be used according to personal discretion
The general recommendation issued by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) to use masks is being lifted with three exceptions.
THL recommends the continued use of masks in public indoor spaces and public transport for those seeking treatment or a test because of a suspicion of coronavirus infection, for those with symptoms of respiratory infection, who nevertheless have essential reasons to move outside their home and for those who know that they have been exposed to COVID-19 (for example, infections have been diagnosed in the family) and for whom close contact with outsiders cannot be avoided.
It is still necessary to pay close attention to health security: we exercise good hand hygiene, maintain distances and do not come to the facilities if feeling ill.
