The National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) reports in its weekly report that the R number in Norway is now estimated at 1.26.
– The model estimates that there have been a total of 69,600 – 92,300 infected in Norway. With few new admissions, there will be greater uncertainty in the breeding number, FHI states.
This means that each corona infection infects more than one person.
– Reproduction figures show that the national epidemic is probably increasing, they write.
Take care of the differences
Increase in five counties
FHI also writes that there has been an increase in the number of reported cases in the last week in five counties. The counties are Innlandet, Agder, Møre og Romsdal, Rogaland and Oslo.
– Most of the cases were reported from Oslo. 281 cases in week 38 against 222 cases in week 37, the report indicates.
The National Institute of Public Health claims they were reported of nine outbreaks last week. The outbreaks were related to private events, schools and the health service.
A large proportion of the cases in weeks 36 and 37 were due to the outbreaks in Bergen and Fredrikstad / Sarpsborg, while the increase last week was mainly due to an increase in infection in Oslo.
24 Infected Aircraft: – Terrifying
Here people got infected
– Among those who registered as infected abroad in weeks 37 to 38, there were 3 who had been in countries that were exempt from quarantine at the time of entry (“yellow countries”), and 69 people had traveled to countries requiring quarantine upon entering Norway. (“Red land”). The most common countries of infection in the last two weeks were Poland and Turkey, according to the weekly report.
The mathematical model indicates a low and relatively stable spread of infection in the summer until the end of August and an increasing spread of the infection in early September. So far in the epidemic, an estimated 1.5 percent of the population has been infected with COVID-19, writes FHI.
