Statute overview

About this statute

The regional administration authority must plan, lead, and oversee infectious disease control in its area. The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare is the expert body. The Supervisory Authority for Health and Social Welfare directs regional authorities and oversees certain important or wide-ranging matters, multi-region or nationwide matters, related professional-supervision matters, and conflicted cases. The Government may issue more detailed rules on the division of work. Labs doing work needed to combat infectious diseases must be approved, and the regional state administrative agency supervises them. Regionförvaltningsverket may order compulsory health examinations in specified places if needed to prevent the spread of a dangerous contagious disease. Authorities may make urgent public-health decisions to stop the spread of serious infectious diseases, including temporary quarantine orders. The supervisory authorities may issue a future reprimand or a notice if a municipality, joint municipal authority, or responsible official has acted incorrectly or failed to meet a duty, and decisions on these reprimands or notices cannot be appealed.
