Remember good hand hygiene - Cases of stomach flu have been reported in Hetta-Pallas area

Cases of stomach flu have been reported at the Tappuri and Sioskuru open wilderness huts. Sick individuals may have traveled more widely in the area. We will update this publication as new cases emerge. Although the number of cases is currently low, the illness can spread very quickly in the worst-case scenario. In Lapland, distances are long, so getting help can take a long time. Therefore, we urge hikers to pay special attention to hand hygiene.
