Cranes open in Oslo after casting stops – NRK Oslo and Viken – Local news, TV and radio

– We look forward to opening for those places that have eaten in early May, city councilman Raymond Johansen (A) tells NRK.

That is, it will be possible to drink beer in Oslo before National Day. Service locations without food service were closed by the government on March 12 and will remain closed.

“We shouldn’t be taking more intervention than necessary,” says Johansen, noting that the spread of infection is decreasing.

The Oslo municipality closed the donation at the city’s service places a month ago on Saturday, March 21, because several violated infection control rules.

Last week, Johansen warned that they would likely reopen for donations gradually during May.

– We close the city. Now we will reopen it gradually. This phase is actually more difficult than the one we’ve been through.

It must be nice

– What should be done before opening?

There are many things.

Johansen points out that national rules and guidelines must be followed and that it is limiting for many. Restaurants should ensure that they are not overly invited and that distance rules are followed. But he thinks the industry will handle it.

– I am as confident in the industry as I am in the people of Oslo that in record time they have managed to comply with the rules; good for washing, meeting the distance requirements and no more than five.

This has led to fewer infected and less hospitalized patients.

– I am optimistic, but it is important to persevere a little and not become superfluous, so we do not have to take new measures.

The business wanted to open

Some Oslo beer-thirsty folks have taken a trip out of town to go out when the sun waits this spring. The NHO has also been impatient and wanted to open the cranes again.

– The Oslo dumping stop means that restaurants and tourist companies are particularly at risk. The reopening is important and urgent, NHO regional director Nina Solli Viken Oslo told NRK last week.

The City Council has pointed out that the epicenter of coronary infection has been in Oslo and that therefore there have been stricter infection control rules so as not to risk the infection increasing and getting out of control.
