Quarantine means that a<br/> healthy person’s freedom of movement is restricted. It is used to prevent a possible<br/> asymptomatic disease-carrier from infecting other people. The quarantine decision has<br/> been made pursuant to the Act on Infectious Diseases.<br/> <br/> <b>Quarantine period</b><br/> Information on the duration of your quarantine is provided to you in connection with the<br/> quarantine order. The typical quarantine period is 10 days from the last exposure. The<br/> quarantine period is two weeks in cases where more than one people live in the same<br/> household. The period starts at the beginning of symptoms or, in the case of a<br/> symptomless person, from the sampling date.<br/> <br/> <b>How to act in quarantine?</b><br/> During quarantine, you must avoid close contact with people outside your household.<br/> Quarantine time must be spent in your apartment. You can go out, provided that you do<br/> not get close to other people. For example, you must not go to work, school, daycare,<br/> hobbies, stores or pharmacies, as the avoidance of close contacts is difficult in these<br/> places. You must not have visitors, and you must order your food.<br/> <br/> People associated to you who have not been personally in direct close contact with the<br/> infected person can continue to live normally. This means that associated people are not<br/> in quarantine, unlike the quarantined person. People associated to a quarantined<br/> symptomless person do not infect others with coronavirus.<br/> <br/> <b>Quarantine must be adhered to</b><br/> A quarantine ordered by the infectious disease authorities must be strictly adhered to.<br/> According to Finnish law, breaching a quarantine order can be punished as an offence<br/> against health protection with a fine or imprisonment for a maximum of three months, even<br/> if you do not infect anyone else. <br/> <br/> Source: Helsingin kaupunki (<a href="https://www.hel.fi/static/sote/julkaisut/korona/karanteeniohje-en.pdf)" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">https://www.hel.fi/static/sote/julkaisut/korona/karanteeniohje-en.pdf)</a> 2020-11-09T15:06:40+02:00
