– We just have to realize that it has been very quiet and you may not have thought that there are more infections than you had prepared for.
That’s what NTNU Chancellor Anne Borg says.
On Thursday, a college student was diagnosed with coronary heart disease and on Friday a new one tested positive.
The students have participated in five conferences. Therefore, the university has sent SMS to 2,500 students asking them to take the test.
– We have asked the students who have been in the relevant talks to quarantine themselves, get in touch with the municipality and make sure they are tested.

Students should register when they come to the conference, but Borg admits that many do not.
– We have a good monitoring system and we want students to use it better. If they had used the system with the application that has been developed, we could have reduced the number faster than we have achieved so far.
Borg isn’t sure how many may end up in quarantine, but in the worst case, 800 students could be at risk.
Now he asks students to be good at signing up when they attend classes.
– We will work so that they are even more in the team.

Ask students to test themselves
The municipal chief doctor in Trondheim, Tove Røsstad, says that they now actively monitor for infections.
– This means that we contact those who have tested positive and hear where they may have been contagious.
Røsstad says it’s unclear how many may have been in contact with the infected person, but he hopes many are now testing themselves.
– There are a good number of students who have already been evaluated and more are coming today.
