Schools, kindergartens, after-school clubs, libraries, cinemas and cultural schools will remain closed in the Hitra municipality in Trøndelag until January 17. This was decided by the municipality’s emergency management late in the afternoon on Sunday.
The reason is the continuous outbreak of infection in the municipality, which has approximately 5,100 inhabitants.
Since the first case of infection recorded on December 17, 47 people have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease.
– We believe the situation is so confusing and uncertain, that the closure for so long feels absolutely necessary, says Mayor Ole L. Haugen (Labor)
Ask people to meet with up to five people.
School students must receive digital education from January 5 to 15.
Children are offered a place in kindergarten if the parents have socially critical jobs and no one can be home.
Haugen hopes people will take with them the good routines from when Norway closed this spring.
“We handled it well with distance learning before, and we expect the same this time,” he says.
In addition to the closure of municipal services such as schools and kindergartens, the municipality asks residents to limit the number of social contacts to five people until the new year.
They recommend that all restaurants and stores be closed until January 4, except pharmacies and supermarkets.

Infected Zero Sunday, but no reason to believe it’s over
On the third day of Christmas, a total of 39 inhabitants are isolated after a proven coronary infection. Those who were first diagnosed with the infection are out of isolation.
No new infected were registered on the third day of Christmas. But the mayor says there is no reason to believe this is over. Ask everyone to participate in the fight against the infection.
– It’s great that we have such great employees working hard on the front line now. They take care of life, health and people. Second, we have a lot of effort among those who test and detect spores. They show a fantastic effort.
A surreal Christmas
Mayor Haugen believes that only one word can describe this Christmas: surreal.
The emergency management in Hitra holds daily meetings to assess how they can best curb the infection.
– What is it right now? And what is the right thing to do in an hour? The crown is a great enemy, he says.
