The sports halls managed by the city itself, such as the Töölö Race Hall and the Myllypuro Pallomylly, are basically closed. According to the city, it is possible that some of the halls will be opened if there are enough workers at work. The city will inform you of any openings separately.

Social and Health Services

The strike could have an impact on services in the welfare and health sector. Reserved reception hours, for example at health centers and clinics, are kept normally. If time is canceled or there are changes in operations, direct contact is made with customers, their close associates and housing units.

Services related to the livelihood of customers will be secured during the strike.

Patient care in the Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District (Hus) may be congested on Tuesday when the strike begins. Congestion can be seen especially in telephone and lobby services.

Urgent cuts and measures may need to be canceled due to limited equipment maintenance staff. Outside the strike, tasks that may endanger the life, health, safety or property of patients are restricted.

Maintenance

The strike will have a major impact on all of Stara’s operations at the City of Helsinki’s construction services company. It is reflected, for example, in the clutter of common areas. Spring cleaning of the streets is also delayed.
