Throughout the Coronavirus outbreak, Northern Europe has remained one of the regions with the lowest levels of infection rates in the world. This is in part due to the very low population density rate in Lapland (in some areas people are outnumbered by reindeer 10 to 1!) but also due to their exceptional attention to detail regarding measures to control the spread of the disease.
Our local partners have worked very closely with the epidemiology consultants at Rovaniemi hospital in Lapland to get the best possible tailored advice for their specific activities and accommodation types. They have created forensic plans for all aspects of your holiday including: cleaning and sanitation of public areas, cleaning and sanitation of equipment, advice and support on social distancing and, strategies to limit group sizes at meal times and during activities.
Whilst the infection rates have been low this does not mean the local residents are taking the threat of COVID-19 any less seriously than in other places. In typically Nordic fashion they have simply adapted their existing meticulous health and safety plans to include the recommended measures. Domestic Travel between the Scandinavian countries has been open since the summer and the accommodation’s methods are tried and tested to ensure guests are kept as safe as possible during their holiday.
They have worked so hard to create a safe holiday environment and we cannot wait for you to experience their warmth and hospitality in Lapland.
