The government has decided to completely close 10 municipalities in the Oslo area. The reason is an outbreak of the British mutant in Nordre Follo.
In Bergen, two cases of the mutated virus have been discovered in recent weeks.
“We have this under control and we do not worry about further spread,” said chief infection control physician Egil Bovim when it became known.
– Follow the situation closely
City Councilor for Health Beate Husa (KrF) told BT on Saturday that the city council is closely monitoring the situation, but that as the infection situation is in Bergen now, there is no basis to toughen up.
– This can change quickly, he emphasizes.
– Is the city council considering new measures based on what is happening in the Oslo area?
– We make our own assessments based on the situation in Bergen. It is currently clear and we have no indication that the mutated virus is spreading here, says Husa.
– Do not travel to the affected areas
The city council arrives at the same time with two calls to the people of Bergen:
– It is important that the people of Bergen do not go to the affected places in eastern Norway, he says.
– So I want to encourage people to have a low threshold to test themselves. In the last few days, we have seen fewer meetings on our test stations.
On Thursday, January 21, 923 people took the test. That’s 150 less than Thursday of the previous week.
Only seven of the 923 tested positive, shows the summary of the municipality.
