The city council leader promises a gradual and controlled opening of the capital.
The case is being updated.
– We are creating a group with goals for the gradual and safe opening of donations, and we are currently looking for places that are licensed and offer takeaways can also offer their customers a beer to go, says Raymond Johansen (Ap) during a press conference on Friday.
He adds that this will allow restaurants to sell beer and side dishes before it expires.
In addition, Ruter’s buses, trams, boats, and subways will transition from summer routes to normal routes. The City Council will also extend the opening hours at the main recycling stations in the city from Monday, April 20.
“It is not because people should go to recycling stations or take public transportation as much as possible, but to make sure that people who need transportation or want to dispose of waste can do it safely with distance from others. “says the municipal council leader.
Figures in Oslo indicate that infection control measures have worked; 287 new infected people were registered last week, a decrease of 50 percent compared to two weeks earlier.
At the same time, Johansen warns that the crisis is far from over. It will continue to characterize the capital for a long time.
– In this difficult phase, where we open cautiously, we will follow strict pollution measures, he says.

The food for the crown runs out: – There are no good solutions in place
– Now is not the time to send sick young children to daycare
Growth Council Inga Marthe Thorkildsen (SV) says Oslo is now ready to resume normalcy in everyday life, but emphasizes that people should continue to follow the advice that applies.
– Life in kindergarten is not exactly the same as we left a month ago. We will have good infection control to make it safer to open again, says the council.
These are some of the measures in kindergartens:
- More sink
- Those who are sick or have symptoms should stay home.
- More time outdoors
- Smaller groups
– I would like to emphasize that this is not the time to send sick young children in kindergarten, or to work for coughs, says Thorkildsen.
At the same time, it is concerned about the situation of staff during the crisis. She notes that due to the above measures, some employees will not be able to work in the normal way.
– The Prime Minister believes that the normal personnel norm is sufficient to ensure nurseries in times of crisis. I totally disagree with that; It will cost money. We hope that the national authorities establish compensation schemes so that the municipalities can meet the government’s expectations, says the city council.
– Cancel oral exam
At the same time, Thorkildsen highlights the situation in secondary schools.
She emphasizes that school activity, VG2 and VG3 needs hands-on learning. National guidelines have not yet been reopened, but government guidance is expected next week.
– It will adapt to the needs of Oslo, says the city council, and comes with a call to the Minister of Knowledge:
– Cancel oral, oral-practical and practical exams in upper secondary schools, so that schools can prioritize resources and capacity for sound point of view evaluation and private examinations. Prioritize the output for stage 10 and VG3 for the fastest possible start, when the time comes. They should be guaranteed time for a good final evaluation, she says.
Infection pressure is even higher in Oslo
Health council Robert Steen (Ap) says it is clear that Oslo residents have followed the advice to stay away.
– It has had a great effect that we should be grateful and proud of. But, and that is a but; Infection pressure in Oslo remains much higher than in the rest of the country, both overall and infected registered per 100,000 population, says Steen.
Also, the decline in newly infected people registered is not as strong as last week.
– Now that the weather is nice and warm in the air, it is equally important to keep your distance. To wash your hands, gather no more than five pieces and continue to follow infection control rules, the city council says.
At the start of the epidemic, Oslo experienced explosive capacity in both the emergency room and the crown telephone. Now this ability is good, says Steen.
At the same time, it is asking the government for more test kits to expand test regimes in the city.
Johansen confirmed earlier this week that not all Oslo kindergartens will reopen on April 20.
He has also asked people to prepare for gradual softening that will lead to stronger isolation for certain groups.
