In the last 24 hours, 80 people have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease in the municipality of Oslo, shows the municipality’s own summary. The day before there were 47 cases of infection.

At midnight, 15,012 people infected with corona were registered in this country. There was an increase of 229 in the last 24 hours.

In the last two days, the increase is 408 reported cases, according to figures from the National Infectious Disease Notification System (MSIS).

On Tuesday, it emerged that a third of Oslo residents with coronary heart disease do not know where they were infected. The number is too high, said health adviser Robert Steen (Labor). However, he did not want to describe the numbers as dramatic.

The age group with the most infections is still between 20 and 29 years old. There are 239 infected people in this age group, the Oslo summary shows.

The big increase in infection comes ten days after the city council introduced a series of measures to stop the increase.

Several infected in bedrooms

Several of Blindern Studenterhjem’s residents now await responses to coronary tests after five residents have been shown to be infected.

– It may appear that the infection came from an outside student who was visiting early last week, Gro Osland, general manager of Blindern Studenterhjem, tells NRK.

– We believe that it could have been a company and where there should be ten people present, he adds.

More residents are likely to receive positive responses, believes the nearly 100-year-old bedroom leader.

The bed in quarantine

It is now recommended that the 200 residents of the former dormitory be quarantined. Odin Haga has lived there for three years.

– Now we are all in quarantine after the outbreak, says Haga.

He meets NRK right outside the bedroom. Residents can go out, but they try to get students who aren’t quarantined to help out with actions and the like.

Now they serve them food outside the door.

– We have breakfast around nine. Dinner comes around three and four, says Verdal’s student in Trøndelag.

Typically, residents eat in a common dining room. The student dormitory itself can be described as a guest house.

– It should have been preferably in the reading room.

The student residence has single rooms, combined rooms and double rooms. Do and most of the residents live in single rooms, he says.

– Most have individual rooms between 15 and 20 square meters, says the student just outside the dormitory.

– Is it okay to study from home?

– Not perfect, we’d rather be in the reading room, says Haga.
