MARMORHALLEN / AKERSGATA (Nettavisen): – I will begin with a few words the proposal for a curfew. It has created a lot of debate. In practice, the hearing ends on Sunday, and then we make a decision on whether to take it further in proportion to the Storting. However, I hope we never get there, but our job is to think of the worst possible scenario, said the Minister of Justice in the introduction.
He further said that some groups are exempt from quarantine when they enter Norway.
“People who bring critical supplies into the country are exempted from the quarantine obligation during working hours,” Mæland said.
– Since January 22, the police have reinforced border control in collaboration with the National Guard. They have established physical barriers and analyze traffic data. We also work together at the national level to obtain traffic figures, he added.
You can get into a nursing home soon
The Minister of Health, Bent Høie, talks about everything that we miss.
– We miss traveling, we miss training, we miss hugs. Soon we will be able to hug someone again. You will be allowed to tighten again next week. This applies to people who have been vaccinated in nursing homes, Høie said.
– I am very happy that those who have been most affected by the restrictions are now enjoying the relief. Vaccination will determine how this will proceed, the health minister said.
He also talked about what it takes to soften the measurements and gradually return to normal.
– We see in other countries that have had a third wave, that many are infected in a short time and there is congestion in the health system. It is not relevant to soften the measures, as long as the infection is not low and is under control, Høie said.
The Health Minister said that people must continue to persevere, and that what they expect are concerts, festivals, trainings and hugs.
