Fokus’ covid policy

We look forward to organize events for our members and exchange students of our department are welcome to join many of those! We want to ensure that our events are safe to all participants despite of covid 19. Therefore, we hope you to read these guidelines and act accordingly in the events.

The decisions about organizing and cancelling events are made by the Board of Fokus. We consider restrictions and recommendations established by the Regional State Administrative Agency, city of Jyväskylä, the University and the Student Union in our decision-making. We do not organize any official afterparties at bars and night clubs because we cannot guarantee their safety. We would like to remind that participation in our events is always voluntary and at your own risk.

We do our best to make our events safe to participate. We prefer outdoor events and events, in which you can keep a safety distance to other participants. In some events, participants are split to smaller group, which are not in contact with each other. In addition, we have some events online!

We inform about our events on Instagram, Facebook and our email list. Remember to follow those actively, because the pandemic might make us to make rapid changes. More precise instructions for a specific event are descripted in the event descriptions on Facebook. If we need to cancel an event, we will refund the ticket price of those events. If you have any questions, you can contact the contact person of the event or the International Affairs Representative of Fokus.

In addition, following instructions apply to all our event so far:

-       Don’t participate in our events if you are sick or in quarantine. This also applies to quarantines after arriving to Finland from abroad.

-       Take care of good hand hygiene. We do our best to enable washing hands or using sanitizer frequently. We ask you to follow the face mask instructions of Finnish authorities.

-       Keep a safe distance and avoid shaking hands, hugging and sharing drinks.

-       Register to all events, in which you participate. If the participants are divided to groups, please arrive on time to the group designated for you. Fokus can forbid participation for those, who have not registered.

Let’s follow these rules and ensure a safe and nice events to all of us!

Greetings, Board of Fokus
