Trondheim municipal management met at 10 on Christmas Eve after disappointing new infection figures.

A total of 46 new people in the municipality received a positive covid-19 test result after just over 1,300 tests on Christmas Eve.

It’s a disappointing infection history for Trondheim so far in the corona pandemic. Two days ago 39 new infections were found.

Before the latest figures came in on Christmas Eve morning, the presidency in Trondheim was called into an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday, December 29, to consider stricter infection control rules in the largest city in central Norway.

The closure of nightlife and gyms are among the measures that were presented as possible austerity measures before the latest figures arrived.

– Damned

– I’m really cursed. It’s endangering other people’s lives and it means we need to have stricter rules, an annoyed Trondheim mayor Rita Ottervik told Adresseavisen last night before the test results and new infection figures were clear.

The mayor refers to the fact that illegal parties have been discovered in recent days, combined with the uncovered planning of parties in the city during Christmas and New Years weekend, where infection control rules are obviously stationed. .

The mayor is also upset by people who come from red countries without quarantine and by people who do not show up for tests.

In Trondheim, the test stations are open every day at Christmas.

16 unknown sources of infection

Five of the newly infected are children under 10 years old, the rest distributed between 20 and 60 years.

One has been infected abroad. For 16 of the 19 covid patients, the origin of the infection is unknown; the rest are infected by close contacts, they appear in a summary of the municipality of Trondheim on Christmas Eve morning.
