The COVID situation in PoSa has deteriorated rapidly. PoSa is in the spreading phase and COVID cases are now very high in the area. The authorities responsible for infectious diseases in PoSa and the Satakunta Hospital District consider it necessary to impose a temporary ban on visits to the 14-hour care facilities and health center hospital in the PoSa area. The measure is being taken to protect those being treated and is now valid for XNUMX days. The continuation will be reassessed depending on the epidemiological situation.

Visits to terminally ill patients are permitted with special precautions and by separate agreement. Careful use of a face mask and good hand hygiene are essential.
