One of the people infected by the crown in Trondheim has been to these seven cafes and restaurants this weekend.
– There is a person who has been to seven restaurants, the municipal chief doctor Tove Røsstad told VG on Tuesday morning.
According to a press release from the Trondheim Municipality, there are about 30 guests or employees in quarantine as a result of the visits. Everyone who has been quarantined has received a phone call from the infection control office.
Adresseavisen now indicates which restaurants are in question:
Friday October 16:
The Karlsen sisters in the period from 7.45 pm to 9.30 pm.
Alma’s Bar and kitchen from 22:00 to 23:00.
Saturday October 17:
Bakklandet Coffee Distillery in the period between 12.00 and 12.30.
Superhero pizza in the period between 3.30 pm and 4.30 pm.
Scandic Lerkendal Bistro and Bar in the period between 7.30 pm and 9.00 pm.
Sunday October 18:
Frati in the period between 14:15 and 15:15.
Egon Tower in the period between 7.30 pm and 9.30 pm.
The municipal chief also said early Tuesday that it is not certain that the person has infected many:
– It all depends on how long the person has been there, where they have been sitting. The fact that a person has been to a restaurant does not worry me much in the first place, because we have previously experienced that this has not caused the spread of the infection.

At the same time, they are taking precautions because on Monday it became clear that the outbreak in the city has to do with a new variant of the virus, that is, a mutation.
The person in question has not been to Little London, but is infected by people who are connected to the ongoing outbreak.
– Now we experience that we have a variant that can be a little more contagious, something that we have in mind when we evaluate the risk and what measures should be implemented, said the municipal chief.
At Tuesday’s presidential meeting, City Director Morten Wolden presented the status of the crown in Trondheim, reports the Nidaros newspaper. Among other things, he highlighted Monday’s infection figures.
– So it happens that some are quite active when they are in the nightlife. There are some who have been to seven restaurants over the weekend and have had quite a hectic time. And when you’re infected, too, it presents a number of challenges, Wolden said from the podium.
Outbreaks in progress

Seven new corona cases were recorded in Trondheim on Monday.
There are now at least 40 people infected in connection with the outbreak which is said to have spread to the Lille London pub, the Edge hair salon and the Bermuda bar.
Five people are connected to the ongoing outbreak in Trondheim, including three students from the same collective. One of those infected is associated with the outbreak at Hammerfest.
During Monday, 1109 tests were carried out.
New variant of the virus
The municipal chief doctor, Tove Røsstad, said last week that the outbreak in Trondheim could be due to a mutation of the virus that could be more contagious.
Samples of the virus were sent from St. Olav Hospital for analysis at FHI, which on Monday found that the virus variant has not been seen in Norway and has marked changes in the surface protein. This protein looks like a crown or thorn sticking out of the virus.

– Two changes shorten the label. It also has a slightly important change in the area that allows the virus to attach to cells in the body, said section leader Karoline Bragstad at FHI to VG.

It is still too early in the analysis work to know what properties the Trondheim virus has:
– We don’t really know, we are tracking others who are similar. It may be beneficial for the virus to have a shortened label, perhaps not. There seems to be a link to the UK, they have had some viruses that are similar and are missing these amino acids (the building blocks of the virus protein, journaln.anm.). But it is still early in the analysis work, Bragstad said Monday.
The corona mutation found after the bus trip in southern Norway also had changes in the area that cause the virus to bind to cells in the body. FHI then said that this mutation could possibly affect infectivity.
