Coronavirus symptoms

Patients who have experienced any of the following symptoms within 14 days prior to seeking treatment:

Acute respiratory infection (one symptom is enough: fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath, loss of smell/taste) or
Diarrhea/abdominal pain without any other clear reason (suspected coronavirus in patients with abdominal pain cannot prevent ruling out or treating other diseases that may cause the symptom).

Samples will be collected at health centers, at drive-through testing sites, and in other units. You'll need an appointment for the sample collection.

See the THL website for instructions on what to do when a child falls ill with a respiratory infection (in Finnish).
