In the last 24 hours, 80 people have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease in the municipality of Oslo, shows the municipality’s own summary. The day before there were 47 cases of infection.
The Oslo City Council met at ten o’clock to discuss the situation of the crown in the capital and whether the increase in infection requires even stricter measures.
The government recently decided that national infection control rules will be relaxed as of October 12.
Today, Oslo has stricter rules than those that apply at the national level. Among other things, it is forbidden to have private meetings with more than ten people, while the national rules say a maximum of 20.
If the city council chooses to continue with the same measures that will be announced today during a press conference on Thursday at 1:00 p.m.
For every 100,000 inhabitants, the district of St. Hanshaugen has the highest infection pressure with 154.1 infected, followed by Stovner with 138.1 infected and Bjerke with 125.7.

Increase nationwide
At midnight, 15,012 people infected with corona were registered in this country. There was an increase of 229 in the last 24 hours.
In the last two days, the increase is 408 reported cases, according to figures from the National Infectious Disease Notification System (MSIS).
On Tuesday, it emerged that a third of Oslo residents with coronary heart disease do not know where they were infected. The number is too high, said health adviser Robert Steen (Labor). However, he did not want to describe the numbers as dramatic.
The age group with the most infections is still between 20 and 29 years old. There are 239 infected people in this age group, the Oslo summary shows.
The big increase in infection comes ten days after the city council introduced a series of measures to stop the increase.
Health Director: wait for measures

– I know that the city council is very close to the situation and has local knowledge about the outbreaks. I hope they take action to meet the challenge that exists in the city and prevent us from spreading a large number of hidden infections in the population, Guldvog tells NRK.
The health director says it is too early to tell if it is a continuing trend.
– The situation has been relatively stable in recent weeks, but at a slightly elevated level.
Several infected in bedrooms
At Blindern Studenterhjem in Oslo, 200 residents have now been asked to self-quarantine. Several of the residents await responses to coronary tests after five residents were found to be infected.
– It may appear that the infection came from an outside student who was visiting early last week, Gro Osland, general manager of Blindern Studenterhjem, tells NRK.
– We think it could have been a company, and there should have been ten people present, he adds.
More residents are likely to receive positive responses, believes the nearly 100-year-old bedroom leader.

– Now we are all in quarantine after the outbreak, says Haga.
He meets NRK right outside the bedroom. Residents can go out, but they try to get students who aren’t quarantined to help out with actions and the like.
Now they serve them food outside the door.
– We have breakfast around nine. Dinner comes around three and four, says Verdal’s student in Trøndelag.
Typically, residents eat in a common dining room. The student dormitory itself can be described as a guest house.

– It should have been preferably in the reading room.
The student residence has single rooms, combined rooms and double rooms. Do and most of the residents live in single rooms, he says.
– Most have individual rooms between 15 and 20 square meters, says the student just outside the dormitory.
– Is it okay to study from home?
– Not perfect, we’d rather be in the reading room, says Haga.
