This week, the health authorities will present the tips for the Christmas celebration. Health Minister Bent Høie had previously told Dagbladet that the danger of Christmas celebrations is that it could be the start of a new wave.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg had already opened up to testing before Christmas.
Now Deputy Health Director Espen Nakstad at the Norwegian Health Directorate cautions against believing that tests before Christmas make the holiday celebration safe.
– It’s bogus security. The most important thing is to avoid getting infected. To do this, keep a good distance and be careful where you are, he tells NRK.
Explain that a test only says something about you having an outbreak of the disease that day, but that you may still be infected, but that the outbreak occurs a few days later.
Health Director Bjørn Guldvog has recommended caution in recent weeks before the Christmas celebrations.
– In the last weeks before Christmas, you need to ensure that you are not exposing yourself to a high risk of infection, thereby reducing the risk of the celebration itself, especially with the elderly and vulnerable in mind.
There were 322 new infections in Norway on Tuesday night. That’s 96 less than at the same time last week.
