HUS boss: Prioritise high-incidence areas for Covid vaccine

Helsinki University Hospital District (HUS) CEO Juha Tuominen wants the order of prioritisation for the coronavirus vaccines to be re-evaluated in Finland. According to Tuominen, those living in areas with a higher incidence of the virus should be included in the at-risk groups. According to Tuominen, Finland and Uusimaa in particular have areas and socio-economic groups among which infection and mortality rates have been higher throughout the pandemic. Tuominen says he believes it is precisely because of these risks that the vaccination order should be revised. Coronavirus infection rates especially high in Northern and Eastern Helsinki, in areas such as Itäkeskus and Vuosaari, as well as parts of Espoo, according to Tuominen.

Here s what Finland s 3-week partial shutdown means in your region

Finland begins a three-week period of partial shutdown on Monday. The term used by authorities, sulkutila, is the Finnish equivalent of the words shutdown or lockdown used in many countries around the world. In Finland however, at least for the time being, there is no curfew in place and outdoor movement is not restricted. The shutdown will nevertheless bring many changes, especially to regions considered to be in the acceleration or community transmission phase of the epidemic. Although the closure of bars and restaurants has progressed through Parliament over the past week, it had not yet received the final seal of approval as of Monday morning.

Friday s papers: Testing strategy, vaccine priority, farm quarantine

Local authorities in Pirkanmaa are changing their coronavirus testing strategy, reports Tampere regional paper Aamulehti. The Pirkanmaa Hospital District will expand testing to try and catch asymptomatic patients with the aim of trying to test everyone identified as having potentially been exposed to the virus by test and trace efforts, the paper writes. The move is an expansion of a more targeted strategy the region had been using until now, Tampere University Hospital s Jaana Syrjänen told Aamulehti. We have been testing those in quarantine if their family members work in social and health care. It may be that we can break the chain [of infection] sooner, she said.
