– Infection rates have deteriorated considerably in recent days, says municipal director Morten Wolden in the municipality of Trondheim.
He says that most of them are spread on private computers.
Take immediate action
Most of the 79 who were diagnosed with the infection Tuesday are known close contacts with sick people. The origin of the infection is known to 68 of the 79, it says in a press release from the municipality.
Now immediate action is being taken in Trondheim:
- The New Year’s fireworks are canceled.
- The planned New Year’s party should be cut.
- All employers are asked to establish a home office.
- Digital meetings should be organized as much as possible.
On Facebook, Trondheim Police recommend following the advice of the authorities. Remember that this year is not the year to gather friends for big parties.
– We will keep track of whether there are house parties and we will evaluate each individual case. That the police will be present is pretty obvious, Vegar Bolås in the Trøndelag police district promises to NRK.
No New Years rockets
The crisis management in Trondheim decided on Wednesday to cancel the fireworks at the Kristiansten fortress. This is stated in a press release:
“We are currently experiencing that many are infected with covid-19 in Trondheim. This means that it is now very important to avoid large gatherings of people. The risk of people gathering in the fortress during a New Years fireworks show at the midnight is considered great.».
At the same time, the municipality’s crisis management strongly encourages the cancellation of private fireworks that can generate large crowds of people.
– Fireworks are best seen from a distance. If people can group themselves into “fireworks cohorts” that will be great, says Stein Yttereng of the Trøndelag Fire and Rescue Service.

Ask people to cancel the New Years party
– As infection rates look now, it’s important for everyone to go the extra mile. Here’s what Trondheim City Manager Morten Wolden says.
The number is so high that the city manager says everyone should cancel the New Year’s party. At least if you plan to have a party with people beyond your own cohort and your family.
Wolden says the most important thing in the coming days and weeks is for everyone to keep their distance and remember to limit the number of social contacts.
– Now it depends on each one of us, he says.
The municipality of Trondheim has adopted a local regulation that no one should have more than 10 social contacts in a week.

Requires stricter rules on New Years Eve in Norway
Indre Østfold’s health chief on Tuesday demanded that the government tighten the rules for this year’s New Year celebration. Health Director Kenneth Johannessen fears that the spread of infection at parties could lead to a new wave of infection.
He experiences that the national recommendation of a maximum of ten guests twice at Christmas is interpreted very broadly.
In Trøndelag, several municipalities have in recent days made urgent decisions about the New Year’s Eve celebration.
