Perho Culinary, Tourism & Business College will switch to remote studying in all subject areas from Monday 30 November: group-based contact teaching on campuses will cease during what remains of 2020. However, our campuses will remain open on a limited basis, for those requiring study support services and special support. Our other support services will also be available during the remote studying period.

At a press conference held at 12 noon on Friday, 27 November, the Helsinki Metropolitan Area Coronavirus Coordination Group gave a briefing on the epidemic situation and decisions on new regional restrictions and recommendations. The coronavirus coordination group includes the cities of Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, THL, HUS and the Regional State Administrative Agencies of Southern Finland.

In the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, the corona epidemic remains in the active spreading phase, which is the most serious phase on a 3-point scale confirmed by the authorities. In recent weeks, there has been a major increase in the number of coronavirus infections detected. Due to the serious situation, on 26 November the Coordination Group decided on new guidelines and restrictions that will take effect from Monday 30 November.

Contact teaching in groups no earlier than 11.1.2021

In the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, the corona epidemic remains in the active spreading phase, which is the most serious phase on a 3-point scale confirmed by the authorities. Due to the serious situation, the coordination group has extended the restrictions previously announced on 27 November 2020 affecting vocational training until at least 10 January 2021.

Since the restrictions continue, the academic year 2021 at Perho Culinary, Tourism & Business College will start with distance learning and we will return to contact teaching in groups no earlier than 11 January 2021, if the regional corona situation and official guidelines provide safe conditions for this.

Despite restrictions, our campuses are still open for study support services and learning that requires special support (except for the Christmas break on 21 December 2020 – 6 January 2021). Our other support services will also be available during the distance learning period. The premises of Helmi Center on the Malmi campus will remain closed at least until 10 January 2021 in accordance with the restrictions on indoor sports.
