In the last two days, the increase is 993 reported cases, according to figures from the National Infectious Disease Notification System (MSIS).
On the day before midnight Tuesday night, 433 new infections were recorded, clearly the highest ever. By Wednesday, the corresponding figure was 324, while in Thursday’s count, there were 403 new infections in the last 24 hours. A new peak was registered again on Friday, with 495 new cases.
All week higher than March
Throughout this week, the number of newly infected people registered has been above the highest level since the beginning of the pandemic, when it peaked at 313 cases of infection on March 24.
A week ago, the daily increase was 298 registered cases of infection. The last week is the total increase of 2,530 cases.
On average, it takes one to two days from the time a test response is available until it is registered with 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.
60 people in the hospital
On Friday, a total of 1,667,465 were screened for coronary heart disease in this country.
60 people are being treated in hospital for the covid-19 disease, according to updated figures from the Norwegian Health Directorate on Friday. This is an increase of 13 from Thursday and is the highest number since May 14.
On Friday, 282 deaths were recorded as a result of the disease.
Fewer people think the measures are too strict
On Friday, Opinion’s Norwegian Corona Monitor poll showed that fewer Norwegians than before think the guidelines are too strict. Very few find it difficult to follow.
Only 16 percent answer yes to the question whether this week’s new austerity measures are too strict, while up to 74 percent believe the guidelines are not.
– Despite the new austerity measures, Norwegians believe to a lesser extent than in a long time that the measures are too strict. In Oslo, only 14 percent say they are too strict, says senior adviser Nora Clausen in Opinion.
