Contact tracing in Kuopio is overwhelmed: if you attended student events last week and haven’t received two doses of vaccine, please stay under quarantine-like conditions

15.09.2021 Leave a Comment

Contact tracing in Kuopio is currently overwhelmed and the health authorities will not be able to contact everyone who has been exposed to the coronavirus personally. The health authorities ask that everyone who attended student events in Kuopio last week and who haven’t received two doses of vaccine would voluntarily stay under quarantine-like conditions until the end of next week, i.e., refrain from visiting public places and maintain physical distance from others.

If you have not yet received two doses of vaccine and you have symptoms of COVID-19, please get tested.
If you learn that you have been exposed to the coronavirus and you have symptoms of COVID-19, please get tested.
Do not go out in public or come to the campus, if you have any symptoms. Remember to wear a mask on your way to get tested.

University of Eastern Finland is taking action in response to the coronavirus situation in Kuopio

14.09.2021 Leave a Comment

The University of Eastern Finland is taking action in response to the coronavirus exposures that took place in connection with student events in Kuopio last week. First- and second-year students of medicine and dentistry, and first-year students of biomedicine and nutrition have switched to online study for the following two weeks. The university is monitoring the situation and works in close collaboration with the City of Kuopio’s health authorities. Further action will be taken as needed.

“The message from the health authorities is that all those who attended student events in Kuopio last week should stay under in quarantine-like conditions, i.e., refrain from visiting public places and maintain physical distance from others. Also, it is recommended to get tested for COVID-19 even at the slightest sight of symptoms,” Director of Administration Tuomo Meriläinen says.

Last week’s student events were organised responsibly, with great attention to health security.

“Unfortunately, the coronavirus spreads also in pre- and after-parties, and health security should be kept in mind at all times. Better vaccination coverage will make our lives easier in the future. In fact, easily accessible walk-in vaccination events are organised in both Kuopio and Joensuu even this week, and I urge everyone to seize this opportunity,” Meriläinen notes.
