On Tuesday, Dagbladet reported in an Instagram post by influencer Sofie Steen Isachsen (25), better known as Sophie Elise, showing that during a private event she did not comply with the subway rule along with artists Julie Bergan (26) and Astrid Smeplass (23). ).
Health Minister Bent Høie answers the following questions from Dagbladet about the Instagram post:
– I especially hope that influencers think about the social responsibility they have so that what they do and what they photograph is in line with our infection control advice, so that they lead by example as good role models for others of their generation.
The Health Minister points out to Dagbladet that it is important for the organizers to facilitate that it is likely that the distance can be maintained over time, and that it is not only theoretically possible. Høie also points out that it is the organizers who are responsible for ensuring that infection control regulations are followed at events.
Post removed
Isachsen’s controversial post on Instagram consists of several photos in which he does not keep a sufficient distance. The post was removed after Dagbladet’s article, in which social polemicist Ingeborg Senneset described it as “spitting on the charity event.” On Wednesday, however, the post reappeared on the profile.
– Everyone can go for a blast without infection. I have not avoided all the mistakes that I have either, but spreading it and calling it “having fun with nice people” is really giving a long and good middle finger to all those who in the last few months have tried to follow all the recommendations and infection control measures . Senneset told Dagbladet.
He first commented below the photo to Isachsen, where he made the influencer realize the lack of infection control.
sorry
None of them in the photos responded to Dagbladet’s questions on Tuesday. However, both Sofie Steen Isachsen and Julie Bergan commented on Instagram after the case was published.
Astrid Smeplass’s manager, Johanna Alem, writes in a message to Dagbladet that the artist supports Isachsen’s statements.
Here they describe the gathering as a private outdoor event with friends, with fewer than 20 participants. Both affirm that all infection control measures were met, both with antibacterial and remotely. Bergan adds that all were symptom free.
Dagbladet reached out to Bergan’s manager, Cecilie Berg-Holte, on Wednesday, who says the artist has nothing to comment on beyond the Instagram post.
Both celebrities admit to staying too close when the photo was taken and apologize for the incident.
“We see in hindsight that it sends the wrong signals. I’m sorry if we seem to think it’s okay to break infection control rules,” Isachsen said.
Bergan stated the following:
“When the photo referred to in the Dagbladet article was taken, we probably leaned a bit too close together, something we’ll see later is stupid. I’m very sorry we sent the wrong signals. I’m sorry if anyone has perceived that I don’t care about the rules and I don’t want to contribute to charity Of course I do.
Astrid Smeplass does not want to comment on the incident, Universal Music manager Johanna Alem told Dagbladet.
Young adults
Health authorities have long worried that the population will tire of infection control measures and fear that this will lead to a further spread of the infection in society. Lower compliance with infection control measures has also been cited as one of the main reasons Norway has experienced higher numbers of infection cases since the beginning of August.
In particular, young adults between the ages of 20 and 29 contribute to the current spread of the infection. This is exemplified in the summary of infections of the municipality of Oslo, where 206 of 543 infected in the last 14 days are in that age group.
– We must reduce that number as much as possible. The infection is highest in the age group 20-29 years. It is also these people who have the most active and social life, and can meet up to 250 different people. So it complicates the infection trail, but I think the districts are well prepared, City Councilman Raymond Johansen told Dagbladet on Tuesday.
– Spitting in the working day
Aging
Health advisor Robert Steen pointed out that in open societies it is not possible to keep the spread of infection away from the elderly if the pressure of infection becomes too high.
– In open societies, we cannot isolate the spread of infection to people in their 20s and 30s who may not get as sick. At some point, the infection is passed on to someone who knows someone older or who is in risk groups. The biggest concern is that the infection will reach the people most at risk in our city again. We want to avoid that, Steen told Dagbladet.
