Due to the coronavirus situation we would like to remind people to exercise extra caution. The Sitsit have an increased risk of droplet infection. Being indoors, singing and being in a large group of people increase the risk. Additionally, the food in the Sitsit is not made by professionals, which increases the infection risk. With all this taken into account, we ask all participants to adhere to the following recommendations:

• If you feel at all sick or unwell, do not attend the event.
• If you are diagnosed with a condition caused by the coronavirus up to 14 days following the event, inform the event’s responsible person and give your contact information. The responsible person will give the contact information of all participants to the officials so that all participants can be informed of the exposure.
• Avoid meeting persons that belong in risk groups for at least a week after the event.

The responsible person for the event is Niklas Valuri, email niklasvaluri@gmail.com or Telegram https://t.me/nippe_nuutinpoika
