Indre Østfold’s municipal chief doctor, Jan Børre Johansen, tells VG that they are now experiencing a new demanding situation with coronary heart disease.
– Now it is quite dramatic, when many students are affected.
Both Mysen Primary School and Mysen Secondary School will be closed for the rest of the week as a result of the latest outbreak.
All 870 students in the schools have been quarantined, the municipality reports Tuesday night.
In Indre Østfold, a total of 26 cases of infection are now linked to the Muslim holiday of Asjura about ten days ago.
In Fredrikstad, twelve new cases have been reported today, and all but one may be related to the celebration of the Muslim holiday. Around 1,300 people are in quarantine here, and more than 150 have recently been infected.
In Sarpsborg, where the infection occurred, there have only been three new cases today, while 900 are in quarantine.
The municipality of Sarpsborg announced yesterday that they are denouncing the religious community behind the holiday for violating the Infection Control Act, after 170 people gathered in a small assembly hall in Skjeberg.
Despite the fact that the leaders of the Muslim faith community Al-Ghadir assured that they had complied with the infection control rules, the participants in the same event reported that no adequate follow-up had been done.
The deputy director of health, Espen Rostrup Nakstad, initially thought it was unwise for Sarpsborg to report on the religious community where the infection originated, but later tempered his criticism.

The deputy director of health, Espen Rostrup Nakstad, initially criticized that the municipality wanted to denounce the religious community and said it would not improve the situation, but later withdrew the criticism.
The Crown Prince visited the municipality
The Indre Østfold municipality had the country’s largest outbreak in August and has made great strides in controlling the spread of the infection through strict social measures.
But now a new round of powerful new measures is needed.
The tightening of the measures now occurred at the same time that the Haakon Crown Prize visited the municipality of Indre Østfold today, precisely to learn about its experiences in treating local sprouts.
The Crown Prince met the health personnel conducting coronal tests and gained first-hand knowledge of how the Indre Østfold municipality has handled a new outbreak.

The Crown Prince is on a journey through southern Norway, where he seeks different environments to hear his experiences in the era of the crown. He praised the municipality’s work with detecting infections and social measures to prevent the spread.
– It seems that they have made a very good effort here in the municipality. So it is important that the experience is shared with the rest of the country, so that we constantly learn to improve our handling of this. Unfortunately, we have yet to reckon with more such local sprouts, Crown Prince Haakon told NRK.
