The opening of nurseries and schools in Norway in April did not reignite the new coronavirus epidemic in the Scandinavian country, the country’s health authorities say, easing fears in part of society.
Among the major countries in Europe, Norway reopened kindergartens and kindergartens on April 20, followed by schools for younger students aged 6-10, a week later. High schools and high schools are opening this week.
The reopening of these institutions, which closed on March 12, has caused concern, especially among parents. On Facebook, some 27,000 members joined an account titled “My son shouldn’t become an ‘Indian pig’ for Covid-19.”
“We have not yet realized that the opening of schools and kindergartens and kindergartens has a negative impact on the epidemiological situation,” said Fronte Forland, a senior official at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
“If the relaxation of the measures had such an impact, we should start seeing it today in the form of an increase in the number of infections,” he said.
This observation also has to do with hairdressers, physical therapists and other services, which began operating on April 27, the official said.
“However, it is still too early to see the impact on the number of patients and we are closely monitoring the situation,” he said.
Only 7 new cases of coronary heart disease have been reported in Norway since yesterday, totaling 8,106 since the outbreak began. 224 people have lost their lives in the country of 5.4 million people.
