During the pandemic, the Centre of Expertise in Immigrant Integration published a multilingual summary of coronavirus communications produced by the public authorities, central government, municipalities and various organisations.
We also published other materials for use in the coronavirus situation (e.g. translation instructions, material for distance learning and teaching) to support those working with immigrants.
The multilingual summaries will no longer be updated (starting in spring 2023). However, the information will be archived at kotoutuminen.fi until further notice.
We recommend you follow up-to-date communications and recommendations by the responsible authorities and the Government in exceptional situations.
- Government information and advice on the coronavirus
- Coronavirus update from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL)
- Information on the coronavirus from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
- Information from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment on the effects of the coronavirus in Arabic, Chinese, Persian (Farsi), Somali, Sorani, Russian and Estonian
