High school closes

Vardal ungdomsskole in Gjøvik will now be shut down after infection in all stages was discovered. All students at the school have been quarantined and will be taught online.

An entire class from Gjøvik Upper Secondary School has also been quarantined. The same is a step in Blomhaug primary school, writes Oppland Arbeiderblad.

Crisis management now encourages all grassroots sports in Gjøvik to avoid training where it is not possible to maintain a minimum distance of one meter.

This applies to sports for children, youth and adults. But the exception is in elite sports that can continue.

The so-called “red level” means that various measures are introduced for students and children in Gjøvik:

  • No sick person should attend school, after school or kindergarten.
  • Good hygiene and improved cleanliness.
  • Avoid physical contact between staff and, where possible, divide students and children into smaller groups with normal adults
  • Ensure the distance between cohorts that do not cooperate
  • Separate areas in the schoolyard for different classes / cohorts during free minutes and breaks.
  • Opportunity for reduced offerings and alternate attendance hours at school, SFO and kindergarten.
  • Students who go to OFS have their own packed lunch.
  • New opening hours in kindergartens
