Three employees at Helse Bergen were diagnosed with a corona infection on Friday afternoon, the company states in a press release.
– We are now working to find the infection routes and so far we have no reason to believe that any of them are infected at work. This may indicate that infection in the local community is increasing, says Bergen Health Director Marta Ebbing.
The three employees work in different departments of the hospital.
Helse Bergen has also strengthened infection control measures in the emergency department to prevent the infection from entering the hospital.
– It should be safe for patients to come to the hospital, says Ebbing.
