The Satakunta regional infectious disease control working group (ATTR) met on December 17.12 and made clarifications to the regional corona guidelines, including regarding the use of masks. Satakunta is still a transmission area and meets 7/7 of the government's transmission stage criteria.
There is a broad mask recommendation in force in Satakunta, which applies to both unvaccinated and vaccinated people. The mask recommendation applies to everyone over the age of 10. Based on ATTR guidelines In Kankaanpää city schools, the use of masks is recommended for all students from 3rd grade upwards starting December 21.12st. In addition, principals of educational institutions, in cooperation with infectious disease authorities, can also recommend the use of masks for students in grades 1–2 if several infections have been detected at the school during the week. This is an attempt to avoid the need for distance learning.
In early childhood education units, the current protective precautions for staff must also be followed. In early childhood education units, infections among both children and staff most often come from adults.
All educational institutions aim to implement teaching in person. If exposure situations so require, distance learning can be used for individual classes or groups. However, the aim is to limit distance learning periods to as short as possible.
The city of Kankaanpää introduced a corona pass in the swimming pool and at public events with more than 20 people starting on December 11.12.2021, 31.12. The restriction is valid until December 16. Regarding the use of sports facilities by clubs, each club is obliged to ensure that the operators arriving for their shifts and enthusiasts over the age of XNUMX have a corona pass.
