Corona pandemic Helsinki lined up: you can go to kindergarten and school even if the family suffers from a corona

Although at home Korona, an asymptomatic child or young person can go to school, kindergarten or college. In a recent Wilma message, the City of Helsinki outlined the parents and students of the schools.

However, even the slightest symptoms should stay at home.

“If a child or young person has mild respiratory symptoms (cough, runny nose, fever for a few days), stay at home. When the symptoms are gone or the feeling has been clearly better for a few days, you can return to school, school or kindergarten. It is not necessary to apply for a corona test, ”says the Director of Education Satu Järvenkallas and the Director of Social and Health Services Juha Jolkkonen the message states.

“Asymptomatic children and young people can attend early childhood education, school and school.”
