Application of the Recommendation on Using Face Masks at the University of Turku

Page updated on 8 March 2021, added information about the Rector's decision.

In accordance with the Rector’s decision on 5 March 2021 (requires logging in to the intranet), the safety measures described in the University’s coronavirus instructions have to be observed in the University’s facilities, including the instructions on face masks, also when working in the facilities independently.

Shared Indoor Facilities

Face masks are always used in the University’s facilities, unless the person is alone in the space. Recommendation on the use of face masks for citizens on THL’s website.

Working at the University 

For those work tasks that require visiting and spending time in the University's shared indoor facilities, the employer provides suitable face masks. The units acquire a sufficient amount of face masks for this purpose and organise their distribution. However, the remote work policy is still in force at the University and working at the University’s facilities requires permission from the supervisor. Face masks are always used in the University’s facilities, unless the person is alone in the space.

Teaching and Studying at the University

Face masks are always used in the University’s facilities, unless the person is alone in the space.
