– The outbreak we are seeing now is very worrying, it is important to eliminate it, says Bjørn Guldvog to TV 2.
On Saturday, the municipality of Bergen held a press conference, where they stated that the outbreak in the city is serious. They then recorded 43 new infections in the last 24 hours.
– It is absolutely crucial now that we quickly reduce the infection. We are now in a period where it is important to awaken the attitude we had in March, the feeling of solidarity and the spirit of hard work, says Guldvog.
Fear of the ancients
Guldvog is clear about what concerns him most now.
– What we fear most now is that the infection enters the institutions. We are now working very well in Bergen to protect nursing homes and the elderly, but we already see that the infection has entered a nursing home, he says.
On Saturday, the Bergen municipality stated that several of the new cases occurred among employees and residents of a nursing home.
– It shows that it is a very serious situation in which we are, says.
– A marathon
When asked how we can anticipate the next six months, the health director is ready.
– This is a marathon and it is clear that it erodes people’s motivation. This is hard to bear. We won’t get out of this until we’ve built an immunity in the population through vaccination, I think we can realistically have that in place within a year and a half, he says.
Therefore, he does not believe that special trips abroad are possible during the year.
– If now everyone knows how to keep a distance of one meter, wash their hands frequently and stay home when sick, then we can put this together. If we go back to having a lot of proliferation, it will have serious consequences and stricter measures must be implemented. At the same time, we must remember that we have managed to kill the virus together once before, and we can do it again, he says.
