– We have had districts that have had little infection for a long time, and that are actually the size of large Norwegian municipalities, Anne Haabeth Rygg (H) tells NRK.
The newly elected Conservative leader of the city council group believes that the differences within the Oslo municipality are so great that it should be possible to distinguish between measures.
Now he believes that the city council should consider reopening the district.
It proposes to open up to training and cultural activities in districts with little infection. There may be limited admission, with control over who is there, he suggests.
– For example, gyms, where the entrance to the address can be blocked, that is, there is only internal movement in the district. Maybe it can be done for cultural events, cinemas and the like. Then it can open up a bit when national measures end, says Rygg.
Unfair?
In Oslo, the Stovner district has infected 270 per 100,000 in the last 14 days. The corresponding figure for Nordstrand and Nordre Aker is less than 60, the municipality’s own summary shows.
Rygg believes that the reopening in some districts may take place during winter break or early March. So you should have a plan ready for step-by-step opening, she believes.
The leader of the Conservative Party group emphasizes that exercise is important for both physical and mental health, and cultural offerings are important for people’s mental health.
– I think it will be a great relief if you can open something. So it can be said that it is not reasonable or unfair that someone should be at home and someone should not. But I think we should try to go in the direction of open what we can, says Rygg.
– It’s not realistic, Johansen answers.
Based on what he calls a state of emergency in the last three weeks, Councilor Raymond Johansen (Labor Party) is clear that the municipality wants to decide for itself.
The rules that now apply in Oslo are set by the government.
But the leader of the city council is skeptical of the leader of the conservative group.
– The reopening of the district is not realistic, responds Raymond Johansen.
Johansen believes that what sounds theoretically wise can run aground when it comes to practical implementation.
– I don’t mean in all seriousness that one should open Jeppe’s inn in Vinderen and have access control for those who live in the Vestre Aker district, says Johansen.
I think they have had differences
Johansen believes that the Conservatives’ proposal will be difficult to resolve in practice.
– If there is an open fitness center in Nordre Aker district, then you don’t know if everyone in that fitness center lives in Nordre Aker. Should those living in Nordre Aker only be allowed to go to the gym, even if the people in the Sagene district have gym membership? In practice, it is demanding to achieve this, says Johansen.
– There are geographical differences between municipalities, why can’t it be implemented in Oslo, where some districts are as big as Norwegian municipalities?
– We have had urban differences. There have been kindergartens at the red level in some places, and not in others, the town council leader responds.
However, these have been individual kindergartens and not divided by districts.
