Labor leader Jonas Gahr Støre today defied a call from his party colleague Raymond Johansen when he was riding the subway without a mask.
On the subway ride to Oslo city center, there are repeated reminders from APS City Councilor Raymond Johansen over the loudspeaker system about the bandage order.
– I took a quarter in lane of seven and had no mask, so I worried about sitting at a distance. I did. Nobody next door, and a meter, says Støre when VG meets him on the steps of the Storting.
– Obviously it was someone who sat across from you and took a picture then?
– Inclined in the opposite direction, and has more than one meter. I take the subway and always wear a mask, but today I did not have and had to attend a conference. I thought if there was space and there was no congestion, then it might go away, but I should have put on a mask.
Nettavisen was the first to mention the case.

Will go home next time
According to the tipper, the other passengers in the same car wore bandages.
– Can you understand if people perceive this as an example of politicians who think that different rules apply to them than ordinary people?
– I am interested in wearing masks, there was no congestion in the field and I complied with one meter. But we should wear masks.
– If you forget to put a mask back on, what are you going to do then?
– One is to ask if any of the traveling companions has extra, or is to go home and pick it up.
On the stairs of the Storting, Støre presents a new face mask pack.
– I was not wearing a bandage on this coat, but I have it now, he tells VG.

In Oslo, there is a requirement for bandages on public transport. The mouthpiece should be used during congestion and when it is not possible to maintain a distance of one meter.
VG first received a comment from Støre via advisor Siri Hytten:
‘It was a mistake and I’m sorry. I normally wear a bandage on all my public transportation trips and always have a pack of bandages in my inside pocket. Today I put on rain gear before leaving the house and didn’t realize that I didn’t have my scarf before I took the subway. So I found a place where I could keep a sufficient distance from others. “

Raymond: Supports Støre’s apology
Councilor Raymond Johansen believes it is appropriate with an apology from Støre, writing in an email to VG through his adviser Halvard Hølleland:
– I see that Jonas has regretted not having brought a mask today, and I agree with that apology. This can be a reminder for everyone to check for a mask before leaving home. If you don’t have a bandage, you have to get it, writes Raymond Johansen.

– I have no comment beyond that.
