The travel group with retirees who were on a bus trip stayed at the hotel from September 20-21. The hotel was notified of the outbreak on September 22 and then began taking infection detection measures.
– Nine employees who worked during the relevant time period were quarantined and screened. Three of these test results have come back positive, says hotel manager Arnstein Birkeland in a press release.
– All rooms, common areas and the rest of the property are thoroughly washed. To be safe, we have chosen to close the hotel until October 1, he adds.
Quarantined after visits to cafes
According to the hotel, there were few other guests in the period in question. These and the guests who have lived there since have been notified of the outbreak.
The second infection control measure is now being introduced in the Kvam municipality, reports NRK.
