Last week, there were 6,500 cases of infection in Norway and the week before 5505. It is the two weeks during the pandemic with the most cases of infection recorded.
– There are signs that it may begin to flatten in municipalities where strong measures have been implemented in a good week. We are very happy about that, because that is the purpose of the measures in Viken and in many other places, Nakstad continued.
