Social and health services

What to do if you suspect that you have contracted coronavirus

  • If you have mild symptoms, stay home and prevent others from getting infected.
  • Do self-assesment if you contacted coronavirus in the Omaolo electronic service. You will get instructions how to do the test on the Omaolo website here. The service is available in Finnish.
  • If your condition worsens or you need advice on treatment, call your health center on weekdays from 8 to 15. In the evenings or at weekends you can contact the emergency department of Central Hospital of Kanta-Häme.
  • A national telephone service at the number 0295 535 535 gives general information and advice on the coronavirus on weekdays 8-18 and Saturdays 9-15.
  • Additionally, a chat service has been opened and it offers general information on the corona-situation. The chat is open on weekdays 8-18 and on Saturdays 9-15. The service is primarily available in Finnish and, where possible, also in Swedish and English.

You are entitled to use public health services in Finland if you have a municipality of residence (kotikunta) in Finland.

The right to a municipality of residence depends on the following matters:

  • the country from which you have come to Finland
  • your reason for coming to Finland (e.g. work, studying)
  • whether you are moving to Finland permanently or staying here temporarily
  • if you are staying in Finland temporarily, the length of your stay in Finland

If you are unsure whether you have a municipality of residence in Finland, find out at the Local Register Office (maistraatti).

If you fall ill, first contact your own health centre (terveysasema) where you can make an appointment with a general practitioner or nurse.

In the Hämeenlinna city area we provide services at eight health centres. The health centres are open from 8 am to 3 pm on working days (Monday-Friday).

Phone contacts at health centres are operated with call-back service. Service is open daily from 8 am to 6 pm. Currently we focus on urgent cases.

During call use following options to choose the right service:

Cancellation of appointment – 1 (yksi)
Care need estimation from nurse – 2 (kaksi)
Postponing appointment – 3 (kolme)
Renewal for prescription – 4 (neljä)
