Do not come to scheduled appointments if you have symptoms of a respiratory infection or have been assigned to isolation or quarantine, or are in voluntary quarantine due to a trip abroad.

If necessary, cancel the appointment. Take care of good hygiene: wash your hands when entering and leaving the service points, use face mask and keep a physical distance from other people, even in waiting areas.

The staff of the City of Tampere wear face masks in all their workplaces in the city. Instead of face masks, the employees of day care centres and schools can use face shields.

The city of Tampere serves normally for instance the libraries, museums, cultural services and swimming pools are open. Training and contact sports are allowed both outdoors and indoors. The number of participants in public events is not limited any more.

The coronavirus primarily spreads by droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. When in close proximity to others, coronavirus can also be transmitted via contact if, for example, an infected person coughs in his hands and then touches another person.

Everyone can slow down the spread of coronavirus with their own actions.

In everyday life you can reduce infection risk by

• following good hand, coughing and sneezing hygiene.
• keeping a safety distance of more than 2 metres to other people.
  
• wearing a face mask if you cannot keep a safe distance from others.
• getting tested, if you have any symptoms that suggest a coronavirus infection.

Face mask

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) has issued a recommendation that urges citizens to use face masks to protect other people. It is recommended to wear a face mask for instance when you use public transport or when you are on your way to take a coronavirus test.

The responsibility to purchase masks falls mainly on residents themselves. Low-income residents of Tampere can collect free face masks for instance from the following distribution points:

• Home medical supplies , Kuninkaankatu 14–16, opening hours: Mon - Thu 8–16 and Fri 8–14.
  
• Hervanta, old cinema called Cinola (building next to the health centre), Lindforsinkatu 1, opening hours: Tue and Fri 10–15.
  

When you go to the test, wear a face mask. Do not meet other persons before having obtained the test result.

Instructions for arriving at the COVID-19 testing points:

A pandemic clinic operates in Tampere by appointment. It is only focused on treating patients with respiratory symptoms. Other urgent matters are handled at health centres as usual. Children are treated at the children’s emergency services at Tampere University Hospital or the pandemic clinic depending on the assessment of the need for treatment. It is extremely important that you do not visit the pandemic clinic without first booking an appointment and receiving instructions via telephone.

If your coronavirus disease has been confirmed, you will be prescribed isolation. Follow the instructions exactly.

You can be isolated in your home, in which case there should only be people from the same household, no visitors.

If you feel unwell, call the telephone number provided with the isolation instructions. The duration of isolation is at least 10 days, but always at least throughout the symptomatic period and 1 - 2 asymptomatic days. Isolation must not be stopped by yourself, but it is always stopped by infectious disease professionals.

Koroonaviirusesse nakatumise kahtluse korral toimi nii:

Koroonaviiruse sümptomid on muu hulgas köha, nohu, kurguvalu, palavik, peavalu, kõhulahtisus, lõhna- ja maitsemeele kadumine. Kui sul on selliseid sümptomeid, hinda end ise aadressil Omaolo.fi või võta ühendust tervishoiuasutusega telefoni teel:

• Helista oma töökoha arstile, perearstikeskuksesse või nõuandetelefonil 03 5657 0023 (iga päev kl 7 - 22). Vaegkuuljad ja kõnehäiretega inimesed võivad saata tekstisõnumi abi saamiseks numbril 040 639 7700 (iga päev kl 7 - 22).
• Kui sa ei saa infotelefoniga ühendust võid helistada Taysi (Tampere ülikooli kliinikum) koroonainfo telefonil 03 3116 5333.
• Hädaolukorras helista numbril 112.

Tähelepanu! Kui sul on hingamisteede haiguste sümptomeid, ära tule mingil juhul otse arsti vastuvõtule vaid helista alati ette. Nii vähendad nakkuse levimise ohtu.

Kui sul on tuvastatud nakatumine koroonaviirusesse, määratakse sind karantiini. Pea täpselt kinni sulle antud juhtnööridest. Sa võid olla karantiinis ka oma kodus, kuid sellisel juhul ei tohi sa kohtuda kellegi teisega, kes ei ela samades ruumides. Kui karantiini ajal sinu enesetunne halveneb helista koheselt telefoninumbrile, mille saad sind karantiini määranud meditsiinitöötajatelt. Karantiin kestab vähemalt 10 päeva, kuid ei lõpe enne, kui viimaste nakkuse sümptomite kadumisest on möödunud 2 päeva. Karantiinist ei tohi väljuda omavoliliselt, karantiini lõppemise otsustavad meditsiinitöötajad.

Gör så här, om du misstänker att du har smittats av coronaviruset

Symtomen på coronaviruset kan till exempel vara hosta, snuva, ont i halsen, feber, huvudvärk, andnöd, diarré eller förlorat smak- och luktsinne. Gör en bedömning av symptomen i External linkOmaolo-servicen eller kontakta hälsovårdstjänsten per telefon, om du har ett eller flera av dessa symtom:

• Ring företagshälsovården, studenthälsovården, din hälsostation eller hälsovårdstjänsternas rådgivning på numret 03 5657 0023 (varje dag kl. 7–22). Hörselskadade och personer med talsvårigheter kan skicka ett textmeddelande (sms) till hälsovårdstjänsternas rådgivning på numret 040 639 7700 (varje dag kl. 7–22).
  
• Om hälsovårdstjänsternas rådgivning är stängd, ring Tays coronavirusrådgivning på numret 03 3116 5333
• I nödsituationer, ring 112.
• Du får närmare anvisningar i telefonen.

Obs! Besök inte hälsostationen eller akutmottagningen utan att ringa dit först, om du uppvisar symtom på luftvägsinfektion, så att du inte smittar andra.

Om du har bekräftats lida av coronavirussjukdomen, sätts du i karantän. Följ noggrant de anvisningar som du har fått. Du kan hålla dig isolerad i ditt hem, vilket innebär att endast personer som bor i samma hushåll får vara där. Du får inte ta emot besökare. Om ditt hälsotillstånd försämras, ring numret som finns i isoleringsanvisningarna. Isoleringen varar i minst 10 dygn, men alltid åtminstone under hela den tid symtomen pågår plus 1–2 symtomfria dagar. Det är inte tillåtet att avbryta isoleringen på egen hand, den avslutas alltid av en expert på smittsamma sjukdomar.
