– The danger that it is not a normal Christmas is also present. We will not look beyond the borders of this country without being a little scared by the situation and the speed with which the infection has returned and how broken health capacity is in some countries, Solberg said during Dagsnytt 18 in NRK on Friday.
Early Friday, the government announced at a press conference that there will be new infection control measures against the crown next week. They are concerned about the ongoing local outbreaks.
– We now have the highest number of hospitalized patients with covid-19 since May. There is a significant risk that the numbers will continue to rise as we see in Europe, said the Prime Minister.
– Supports a work session in November
Solberg says there is now not good enough adherence to infection control rules across all groups. This is the clear sign when the number of infections has increased and there is an increase in various parts of the country.
– So it’s a little index finger. If we can reduce the number of infections in November, then we will have the opportunity to have the Christmas celebration that many want, he said in Dagsnytt 18.
The Minister of Health, Bent Høie, explains to NRK that the new measures have to do, above all, with taking care of life and health, and preventing Norway from ending up in the same situation as many other countries.
– So I think many of us think that we can endure a work session in November now so as not to be in the same situation at Christmas, he says.
Health Minister Bent Høie says that national travel restrictions are measures reserved for situations that are much worse than the one we have today.

Will avoid crown-wearing students
The Health Minister also says the situation must get much worse than it is today before students and others hoping to get home for Christmas fix themselves with the wreath.
– Domestic councils and travel restrictions are part of the package of measures we have, but it is reserved for worse situations than the one we have now. What we’re doing now is aimed at preventing us from getting into that situation at Christmas, says Høie.
The prime minister says Friday’s call to follow infection control councils and the announcement of new measures is a prayer for Norwegians for a joint effort to make Christmas “pretty normal.”
– I think everyone wants a pretty normal Christmas. I said during my speech at the national Conservative Party meeting that I was looking forward to a Christmas when grandparents could sit with their grandchildren. But this is what it’s all about now: If we take steps now to reduce infection, we’ll have greater assurance that the extended family can get together and celebrate Christmas as we usually do, says Solberg.
