Follow the press conference with, among others, the Minister of Justice Monica Mæland and Espen Nakstad from the Norwegian Health Directorate live from 1pm.
MARMORSALEN, OSLO (Nettavisen): – Although we are not in control yet, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their efforts this difficult fall, Justice Minister Monica Mæland began at Wednesday’s press conference, where she spoke about ” the second wave of infection “that hit Norway.
The government is holding a press conference on the status of the crown. This case is continually updated.
New rules on quarantined hotels in consultation
Mæland reported on the adjustments and clarifications in the quarantine rules that are being sent as proposals for consultation now, with a consultation period of 48 hours. The rules will be that those arriving in Norway from red countries must stay in quarantined hotels. Those who can document the leases can stay there. Those who do not own or rent a home can stay in what Mæland described as a “suitable place”, if they can document that quarantine rules are being followed.
– We hope these rules make things easier for people without compromising infection control, said Mæland.
Nakstad with a message to the youth
Deputy Health Director Espen Naksad spoke about the infection among young people and a campaign that is now being launched on social media to reach this target group. The message from Nakstad and the Norwegian Health Directorate is that you yourself should stay home and not go to school “at the slightest smell”.
– One challenge is that many young people are still infected. It is important that we manage to keep the schools open as we wish. It is not always easy to know when you are sick and when you are contagious. Teens don’t have as many symptoms as adults, so there is reason to pay more attention. The most common symptoms of covid-19, and this also applies to young people, are headaches, sagging and nasal congestion, Nakstad said.
The Norwegian Health Directorate provides clear advice on its website:
“No one should go to school if they are sick. This applies to the green, yellow and red levels.”
Minister for Justice and Emergency Management Monica Mæland (H), Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie (H), Deputy Director of Health Espen Rostrup Nakstad and Director of the Department of Public Health of Line Vold attend the conference press.
