The number of 425 cases of infection is 161 more than Thursday and 154 more than the same day last week.
The number is more than double the average from last week. The figure is apparently the highest daily estimate in three weeks.
This is not true and is due to the subsequent registration of approximately 100 cases from the municipality of Oslo on Tuesday and Wednesday. FHI writes in an email to VG that there have been technical problems getting figures from Oslo.
This has led to both Oslo and Norway having too low numbers this week and thus an artificially high number on Friday.
The municipality of Oslo itself reports 90 new cases of infection on Saturday.
The trend towards infection in Norway is flat.
At midnight on Saturday night, 66,236 corona-infected people were registered in this country, according to temporary figures from the national infectious disease reporting system (MSIS).
In the last seven days, a total of 1,753 new cases of infection have been registered. A total of 3.5 million coronate tests have been carried out in this country.
Mutant infection in Bodø
There have been four new cases of infection in Bodø in the last 24 hours. All cases apply to the South African variant.
All are close contacts of previously known cases of infection, says health manager Stian Wik Rasmussen in a press release.
The chief infection control physician Kai Brynjar Hagen in Bodø told NRK that the cases were most likely due to travel activities.
“Now we have no hard evidence of that, but it is most likely the overseas travel business that makes him come here,” Hagen told NRK on Saturday morning.
On Friday, the municipal chief physician, Tor Claudi, stated that they expect all infections in the outbreak in the municipality to be related to the South African variant of the virus.
On Friday, a total of 19 people were infected by the outbreak and 350 people were quarantined.
13 cases of infection in Bergen
There have been 13 new cases of infection in Bergen in the last 24 hours. Ten of the cases are close contacts.
Currently, three people have an unknown or uncertain route of transmission, writes Bergens Tidende.
At the same time, three new cases of the South African virus variant and two of the British one have been detected. A total of 24 cases of the South African mutation and 23 of the British have been registered in the county.
222,000 vaccinated
221,819 people have received the first dose of the coronary vaccines and 66,178 have received the second dose.
On Friday, 80 patients were hospitalized with covid-19 disease, two fewer than the day before.
A total of 592 corona-infected people have lost their lives in Norway since March. It is not always possible to determine if patients have died from or suffered from covid-19 disease.
64 percent of all deaths were 80 years old or older. In the age group under 50, nine deaths have been reported.
