On Sunday, December 13, there were around 5,100 infected people in Norway. Almost six out of ten do not know they are infected or that they have not been tested. The National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) estimates this in its latest weekly report.
This is a sign that Norway no longer appears to be reducing infection rates, as is the goal of strict infection measures, Aftenposten writes.
36 percent of new infection cases in week 50 were born abroad. Last week, growth was highest among immigrants from Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan and Syria.
The threshold for the corona test is low. Here you will learn how to proceed and what to expect.
102 new infected in Oslo
In the last 24 hours, 460 corona infections have been recorded in Norway. That’s 58 less than the day before, but 98 more than the same day last week.
In the capital, 102 new people have been registered as infected in the last 24 hours. Shows figures for the municipality of Oslo. That’s ten more than a week ago, and 14 more than the weekly average.
In the last seven days, a total of 2787 new cases of infection have been registered in Norway. So far, 2.5 million people have been tested for coronavirus in this country.
133 corona patients were hospitalized on Wednesday. It was seven more than the day before.
A total of 402 corona-infected people have died in Norway since March, preliminary figures show. It is not always possible to establish whether patients have died from or from COVID-19.
63.9 percent of all deaths have reached the age of 80. In the age group under 50 years, nine deaths have been reported in Norway.
Higher risk of dying
The pressure of infection may be much higher in more immigrant communities than among those born in Norway, where two percent of those tested test positive. For all the larger immigrant groups except the Swedes, the proportion is much higher.
Among those born in Somalia, Eritrea, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, and Romania, more than 10 percent tested positive in weeks 46-49.
The high proportion of positives means that many more people should be tested and that there are many undetected infections in these settings, according to FHI.
Klassekampen is told by a group of doctors that they want to prioritize the coronary vaccine for immigrants. The reason is that studies show that people born in Asia and Africa have a higher risk of dying from covid-19.
Health authorities believe that patients in nursing homes and the elderly in Norway should be vaccinated first. In an NRK survey, Norwegians answer that health professionals should be the first to get vaccinated.

Explain
When and how do we Norwegians get vaccinated against the crown?
for answers
Vaccination begins as soon as the first vaccines arrive in Norway, probably on Christmas Eve. This assumes that the vaccine is approved for use by the EU. It will probably happen on December 23rd.
How is the vaccination done?
Those who are offered a vaccine will be contacted.
You get one dose first, then another dose after three weeks.
The vaccine is voluntary. It’s free.
Who gets vaccinated first?
Seniors get first, those living in nursing homes take priority. So those over 64, as well as younger people who have underlying diseases. Then the health professionals.
Before Easter, the plan is to vaccinate 70% of the people in the risk group. It is up to Norway getting enough vaccine doses for this.
How do I know if I am being prioritized and if I am receiving the vaccine?
You will be contacted by your GP or municipality.
If you are not in the risk group, you will probably be offered a vaccination between Easter and summer.
There are different vaccines. Can I choose which one I want?
Health authorities decide on the basis of which vaccines are available and which ones are the most suitable for different groups.
If I am not offered the vaccine, can I get it if I pay for it myself?
No, it is not possible to buy in advance in the queue.
And the side effects?
Authorities have promised to be open about any side effects when they receive information about it. So far, during testing, no serious side effects have been reported in the vaccines that are most relevant to Norway.
This is how the vaccine works:
