– Very disappointing
On Sunday, party participants traveled to Lakselv church to support Farmen’s pastor, Thor Haavik, who held a service to raise income to get the church open for the winter.
At the party, Farmen participants break various national crown bans, says the mayor of the municipality of Porsanger, Aina Borch:
– Participants in the “farm” are role models for many, and the fact that they expose themselves and others to the risk of possible infection is very disappointing. Violation of infection control rules is a police matter, so they may need to follow up.
– Should the municipality report this to the police?
– This is a police issue, not a municipal one, but we must have a discussion and consider how we should relate to this.
At the national level, it is not advisable to make domestic trips, have physical contact, and have no more than five guests. It is forbidden to have more than ten people in private gatherings outside your own home. Then there are also distance requirements for those who do not live in the same household.
– We have carried out two tests
Karianne Vilde Wølner informs VG that all the participants have undergone two corona tests and have been in quarantine, so the stay in Finnmarksvidda will be safe.
– We are traveling in Finnmark, but we have all been tested and quarantined. So we are in the same cohort, but people don’t know, so I understand that someone reacts, says Wølner.
– But can negative tests also be wrong?
– No, but we have run two tests and it cannot give an incorrect result. We have applied strict restrictions and we have not complied with the premises.
According to the participants that VG has spoken with, they have been in contact with the Porsanger municipal chief doctor, Jørn Gregersen, who must, as they understood it, have given permission for the group to be considered a cohort provided the tests are negative.
Municipal Superintendent: – Nonsense
Gregersen vigorously rejects it.
– That’s not true at all, and it’s nonsense. I have not given permission for anything.
The municipal chief says he received an email from the “Farmen” participants, asking if they would be considered one and the same cohort.
– And I denied it. For them, infection control rules apply, otherwise there are no exceptions. This is sad and sad, and it may have repercussions.

– It is important for us to be one hundred percent safe
On Sunday afternoon, VG Kvalvik and Wølner confront the statements of the municipal chief doctor.
«I am busy with worship and work in the Lakselv church in connection with. raising money for churches closed for winter in Porsanger. Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to answer your questions today. sorry»Wølner writes in a text message.
VG has not contacted Thor Haavik.
Kvalvik maintains that Saturday’s meeting was legal.
– Beyond that, we have no comment, says Kvalvik, and shows the Billefjord sports team, who were the organizers.
As the club understood it, the “Farmen” participants were from the same cohort, Billefjord sports club leader Arnulf Thomassen tells VG.
Also present were five members of the sports team, who organized the food service and the like, Thomassen explains.
– Of course it is regrettable that the rules are broken, says Thomassen, who assures that it will not be repeated.
The “farms” gang has taken infection control seriously in the planning phase, Kvalvik told iFinnmark on Friday.
– We started yesterday with a crown test. It is important for us to be one hundred percent sure that no one is a carrier of the infection. So now they have all undergone two tests, Kvalvik told the local newspaper.
