On Monday, 729 new cases of infection were registered in Norway. At the same time, infection is increasing in 36 municipalities, according to the VG summary.
On Monday, 729 new cases of coronavirus were registered in Norway. There are 376 more cases than the average of the previous seven days, which is 353.
This is also the highest number recorded in a single day since January 5, when 928 cases of infection were recorded in Norway.
Last Monday 226 new cases of infection were registered in this country, 503 cases less than on Monday of this week. In general, fewer people register as infected on holidays and weekends than on weekdays, and winter holidays may also have had an effect on when the infection figures were recorded.
Background: Norway now has an increasing tendency to infection
On Sunday, there were 180 new cases of infection in Norway, while on Saturday it was 262. On Friday, there were 524 new infections in Norway.
In Norway, a total of 71,735 cases of infection have been confirmed since the start of the pandemic. 102 people have been hospitalized, while 623 people have lost their lives to the virus.
According to the GV calculation, the trend of registered infection is increasing, and the same occurs in 36 municipalities.
Last week, 104,645 corona tests were performed in Norway, and 2.1 percent of these were positive.
On average, it takes one to two days from when a test result is ready until it is registered in the infectious disease reporting system (MSIS). Therefore, the figures can give a misleading picture of the infection situation in recent days, since it does not appear when the sample has been taken, only when it has been registered.
