– If you are from areas that now have high measures, you should not visit family in other parts of the country and not go to stay in hotels in other parts of the country, said Health Minister Bent Høie in NRK’s Nyhetsmorgen on Thursday.
– This means that if you are from, for example, Oslo or Viken, but you are originally from Bergen, you should not go home and live with your parents or in-laws, he added.
– Do not visit family
The different tips and rules have created confusion, and deputy health director Espen Rostrup Nakstad provides clarification of what applies and what can and should not be done.
– What Bent Høie has said today is that if you are coming from an area with a lot of infection, it is not a good idea to travel and visit relatives and relatives. But limiting the number of people you hang out with is general advice for the entire country. We should also think about this before Easter, Nakstad tells Dagbladet.
– What you should do is be with those with whom you are usually. This applies whether you are at home, at work, or in a booth.
– Easter without visit
He explains that the increase in infection and outbreaks in various parts of the country mean that councils are changing and may change even more quickly.
– Now that we are seeing an increase in infection in more and more regions, most recently in Haugalandet, it is good advice to limit travel to family and friends who live elsewhere. We agree with the Minister of Health on that, says Nakstad and adds:
– As the situation has developed in recent days, it is advisable to prepare for a Holy Week without visits or gatherings, wherever you are.
Fear of losing control
These are the rules of the booth
It is still allowed to go to the cabin, but also here the advice is that you should not be with anyone other than the people you are usually with.
– If you plan to travel to the cabin to meet relatives and relatives there, it is not something you should do. You should travel with those you live with or with you. The same applies if you have Easter at home. The goal is not to seek out lots of other people, whether they are relatives or friends elsewhere, but to be with those you are usually with and limit other contacts, and this applies as advice throughout Norway.
– If you follow the advice that applies now, which is to buy before you leave, have as little contact as possible with others on the trip, avoid public transport, travel in your own car and do not invite others to the cabin – it is not being social and mingling with people you don’t normally don’t, you’ll make sure there isn’t a particularly higher risk of going to the cottage at Easter.
Clear message to the people in the booth
– The individual must consider
– Does the government say that students should not go home at Easter, and what about those who have been quarantined to go home?
– These are things that the individual must take into account, and when there is advice, there is a reason why it is advice and not an absolute order. If you are a student and your mother and father live elsewhere, they are part of your family. Even if you don’t see them every day of your studies. But the same is true then, that if you choose to travel with one or both of your parents, then you must not interfere with other people. Don’t travel to parties or look for other people in your hometown.
– To spend Easter and be friendly and sociable, you should not do this Easter. This is the main advice, and then the individual should consider how to have an Easter in a way that protects against infection. The individual knows very well how to adapt it, I think, Nakstad concludes.
May be forbidden
Nakstad says he believes most people will follow Easter advice and recommendations, but cautions that the council may be regulated if compliance is poor.
– I think now you should also keep in mind that these tips are given and work well as long as you follow them. If compliance is not good, political authorities can agree to regulate and prohibit it. There may be a consequence of that. We want freedom and flexibility, but we want to follow the advice, and if everyone does, we don’t need stronger legal authority or regulations for that, he emphasizes.
Summarize the Easter advice as follows:
1. Have so little contact with other people, with whom you normally have no contact, either every day or on vacation.
2. When it comes to Easter, you should limit the number of people you meet indoors.
If you come from areas with a lot of infection, you should not visit family and friends, because then you can transmit the infection.
4. If you choose to travel in the cabin, you should only travel with the people with whom you usually live.
