It informs that the municipality is in the process of regaining control of the contagion situation and that it is safe to make the measures more flexible.

“It is likely to be a good Christmas celebration,” he concluded.

That is good. But behind the facade it completely fell apart.

These are the new rules of the crown in the municipality of Bergen

Absolutely all staff in Bergen’s municipal chief has now resigned, according to BA. Next week, the system man disappears through the door.

The director of infection control declared in protest several weeks ago, having been excluded from both crisis management and important decisions.

The head of the health service is on sick leave and retired doctors are hired by the hour to keep things running.

First, the director of the department, Brita Øygard, had to assume the position of municipal chief physician. Now she will also work as an infection control doctor, in an office stripped of employees.

Twelve chief doctors are now taking a general agreement with the municipal health directorate.

They complain of mismanagement and “an unequaled encounter disease.” Many feel overwhelmed and ignored.

Bergen’s chief infection control physician for 18 years also believes that the municipality may have violated the Infection Control Act and receives support from the Norwegian Medical Association.

The description “a day of joy” does not seem entirely accurate.

Twelve chief doctors are in charge of health management: – There has been very poor management

Preparing the municipality for infection control it is in full resolution, in the midst of an aggressive pandemic. Is seriously.

It is not inconceivable that the Christmas and New Year celebrations bring with them a new spike of contagion. The vaccination program will be implemented in early January.

How should the municipality handle it?

Despite the medical positions being advertised, it’s not exactly good publicity for the agency to be portrayed as a hellish work environment. There is no reason to believe that applicants will be queuing.

The former chief doctor of infection control, Karina Koller Løland, is among the twelve chief doctors who have settled with the municipality’s health administration. “None of us have quit because the workload or the pressure of the job became difficult to handle,” they write.

The personal clique appears now as an absurd game of hat on hat.

First, the director of the department, Brita Øygard, had to assume the position of municipal chief physician. Now she will also work as an infection control doctor, in an office stripped of employees.

Will she soon become city council leader too?

Something has really gone wrong, and crisis management should soon come up with a plan on how to solve it.

The Bergen City Council could also seize the crisis as an opportunity to shine and display skills for action and cooperation.

Instead, most things have collapsed.

Besides the mess on the infection control front, the city council has been involved in a conflict both with the cultural life of the city and with the Minister of Culture, Abid Raja (V).

Although there has been formally a maximum limit of 20 people at the events, the city council issued a strong recommendation to limit all activity.

“I would like to emphasize that the city council recommends that as few events take place as possible,” Culture Councilor Katrine Nødtvedt (MDG) wrote in an email to the city’s most important cultural actors. Photo: Eirik Brekke

This led to several cultural venues closing their doors. Thus, financial support from the state was reduced by 40 percent.

Fadesen ended up with the city council having to accept the bill. It is perfectly reasonable.

But without a diffuse-moralistic double communication, the city council would have stopped spending a lot of municipal money on cleaning.

It should only be missing when infection rates are this low.

But even if crisis management they are in the process of controlling the infection situation, they still lack control of many other things.
