Humak has returned to contact teaching on campuses and the operations of Humak’s Corona Task Force have ended. Students will not have to report their illness to Humak, but we encourage you to inform those who may have been exposed. We ask you to continue to be safe and follow the recommendations of the authorities in matters related to corona safety and instructions related to hand hygiene and coughing.
In May, there have been updates in terms of recommendations on the use of face masks. See the updated instructions below.
If you have any questions about the situation, you can get more information and guidance from korona@humak.fi
How to use: Click the heading of the section you want more information about. The information recently updated in a Corona Task Force meeting will be marked with the word “NEW”. You can return to the table of contents by clicking the “return” function on your browser.
Humak has returned to contact teaching and work. Contact teaching is organised paying extra attention to health safety as according to local recommendations.
Humak encourages you all to be responsible in your free time as well. Everyone can limit the spread of the virus with their own actions.
The recommendation on the use of face masks has changed. From now on, the use of face masks is based on one’s own discretion. Masks are still available in classrooms.
Do keep in mind that students can’t attend contact teaching if they have symptoms, are sick, in quarantine or waiting for a test result. You cannot come on campus sick or even with mild symptoms even in the case of having received a negative test result or being fully vaccinated.
We should all pay extra attention to hygiene in regards to coughing and hand hygiene. Wash your hands, do not shake hands and cough safely away from others.
Humak’s campuses are open. Our Covid-19 guidelines must be followed on campuses (see section Instructions for Being on Campus).
The study office services are provided online or by phone.
The restaurant opening hours can be found in e.g. the Student’s Guide.

If you feel sick, act according to your local guidelines. Links to regional Covid-19 websites can be found listed below. If you get sick, we encourage you to personally inform the people that may have been exposed (48h before the start of symptoms) to ensure limiting the spread of the virus. The ones that have been informed can then, in part, act responsibly and stay in self-imposed quarantine if needed. You no longer have to inform Humak of your illness.
Please note that the FSHS (student health services) do not provide Covid-19 testing. You can assess your own situation on the coronavirus symptom checker on Omaolo. Based on your answers, you will receive an assessment on the likelihood of Covid-19 transmission and instructions on getting tested.
General advice and additional information can be found from the national advice channels: National Covid-19 hotline 0295 535 535 and chat service as well as regional korona service numbers and web pages.
