In a press release on Friday afternoon, Police Chief Heidi Kløkstad says that the increased infection situation in Nordland also causes changes in police reactions.
Until now, it was common for the police to provide advice and guidance in the event of non-compliance with infection control regulations, but non-compliance is now prosecuted.
Violations of the infection control provisions will be reported and those concerned will be fined up to NOK 20,000 per case. In case of repeated infractions or other aggravating circumstances, the fines will increase, says Kløkstad.
Quarantine Parties and Violations
The same rules are also introduced in the Troms police district with reference to increasing infection rates.
– This applies, inter alia, to quarantine violations and private parties without infection control control, write the police on friday late.
In the municipality of Tromsø, a ban on organizing or attending private meetings in one’s home, garden or cottage with more than ten people was introduced on Tuesday.
Oslo already announced on Thursday that from the weekend there will be a change in the attitude of the police regarding violations of infection control rules.
Active spread of infection
– Where we have previously provided advice and guidance, we will now report violations of infection control regulations regarding active spread of infection, quarantine violations, repeat violations, and unfollowed orders. An example of this is police assignments associated with private parties and events, said press manager Unni T. Grøndal.
As of Monday, 199 cases of covid-19 had been registered in the Oslo police district. 99 of the cases concern breaches of quarantine provisions.
