At midnight on Friday night, 17,233 people infected with corona were registered in this country.
This is an increase of 270 cases reported in the last 24 hours. That’s 78 more than the day before and 86 more than at the same time last week. Norway is thus approaching the level of March, when over a period of time between 200 and 300 cases of infection were recorded daily.
In Oslo, 79 new infections were recorded in the last 24 hours. In the capital, the Frogner district is the one that is increasing the most, with 79 new cases in the last two weeks.
In the last 14 days, the infection rate in Norway is 24.4 per 100,000 population.

– Of course, we also continually consider other measures that may be relevant where the infection is greatest.
Infection still limited in the population
However, the weekly FHI report for week 42 concludes that infection in the general population is still at a relatively low level.
