25 new cases of infection have been confirmed in Sarpsborg, Mayor Sindre Martinsen-Evje reports to TV 2. In Fredrikstad, five new cases of infection have been confirmed.
More than 200 people are now infected with corona after a holiday at the Al-Ghadir Islamic Center last weekend.
– I cannot rule out that the municipality denounces the matter, says Mayor Sindre Martinsen-Evje to TV2.
– Maximum 20
To Dagbladet, he tells that about 170 have been reported to have been in the unapproved assembly hall of the Al-Ghadir religious community facility in Skjeberg.
– We have not confirmed it, but we suppose that yes, says.
– If it’s 170, is it illegal?
– It must be taken into account, but if there is no approved meeting room, the starting point is that there should be no more than 20 people, he says, and states that the building is not approved.
FHI notification issues
Does not exclude shutdown
If the municipality is unable to control the infection and cannot trace the infection, it says measures may need to be expanded.
– Then we are in a new situation. So we must consider new measures together with the state authorities. Whether there will be a closure in the municipality of Indre Østfold depends on the situation. I won’t rule anything out, but we’re not there yet, he tells Dagbladet.
To date, more than 1,500 people in Sarpsborg and Fredrikstad are in quarantine after the outbreak.
You have removed the distance requirements
Too early
– It is too early to say whether the outbreak has stopped, says Fredrikstad Mayor Jon-Ivar Nygård to NRK Dagsreyven.
He says the focus is now on tracking infections, but once they have gained control, it will be natural to consider a review.
Dagbladet was unable to contact the Al-Ghadir director on Sunday night.
