The Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland decided on 17 May 2021 to ease restrictions on gatherings. Public events and general meetings organised indoors and in limited spaces outdoors may have more than 50 people attending, provided that their safety can be ensured. In practice, this means strict adherence to the physical distancing (2 metres) and hygiene guidelines.
The order is in effect from 18 May 2021 to 17 June 2021 and it is applied to both Joensuu and Kuopio. Information about the University of Eastern Finland’s auditoriums and lecture rooms, and their capacities, is available from tilavaraus-joensuu@uef.fi and tilavaraus-kuopio@uef.fi
