A clear change in the situation

The provincial situational group met today, Tuesday, January 4.1. The situation has radically changed in South Karelia due to omikron, both due to the tracing and the large number of sick people. Most positive infections are found among 20-29 year olds.

It is no longer necessarily possible to reach all corona-positive people, but Eksote is currently preparing instructions on how to act if, for example, you need a daily allowance certificate or an assessment in accordance with the Infectious Diseases Act due to your health condition.
