Figures from the Norwegian registry of intensive care and pandemics show that eight children have completed intensive care. Currently, a child receives such treatment at Haukeland University Hospital, which means that the total number is at least nine.
Spain is tightening
– There are often some other reasons why children with a crown end up in the intensive care unit. Many of those who have been admitted have had a mild illness from COVID-19, but a few weeks later they had a severe immune reaction. Then they were monitored and treated with immunosuppressants in the intensive care unit, chief physician Reidar Kvåle tells the newspaper.
According to Kvåle, a minority of the eight children previously admitted to intensive care have required respiratory treatment.
A case in Ullensvang
About a quarter of all intensive care units in the 0-20 age group have had underlying conditions. This is much less than among the total number of intensive care units.
On Tuesday evening, the Ullensvang Municipality in Hardanger stated that a child had been admitted to the hospital with covid-19 as a result of the corona outbreak in the municipality.
Waiting for new numbers
Ullensvang has introduced local crown regulations after twelve crown cases have recently been recorded. All indoor and outdoor events are prohibited. This also applies to religious gatherings and events.
At the same time, gyms, swimming pools, museums and cultural and entertainment venues must be closed. The regulation lasts until Tuesday, April 6 at 6:00 p.m.
Higher infection pressure among young people
A total of 21,755 people under the age of 19 have been infected in Norway since the pandemic broke out, according to FHI figures. This equates to 23 percent of the total number of infections.
The latest FHI weekly report indicates that it is the 13-19 age group that has the most infected in relation to the population, with 207 per 100,000.
After Easter, students and pupils from vulnerable municipalities will be evaluated every week. In recent months, Norway has secured several million rapid tests in order to carry out massive tests.
Health Director Espen Nakstad told NRK last week that it is important to find infected children and youth before they have time to infect their fellow students and fellow students.
