– It seems that we can receive the first doses of the vaccine before the new year. It has gone faster than expected. It’s rewarding, but it takes a lot, says infection control doctor Eli Sagvik.
Vaccination will take place at the city’s vaccination stations. According to Sagvik, one of the stations will be in Midtbyen. The municipality is also planning an outpatient vaccination team.
Health professionals can be prioritized
The government wants to offer vaccines to the entire adult population. Trondheim is initially given a limited number of vaccine doses and must prioritize who will receive it.
– The Norwegian Institute of Public Health recommends that residents of nursing homes and nursing homes receive the vaccine first, followed by the elderly over 65. Seniors are given priority first. Then people ages 18 to 64 with one or more specific illnesses, Sagvik says.
It may be relevant to prioritize health personnel if the infection situation worsens and the health service runs the risk of being overloaded.
Mayor Rita Ottervik calls on people to pay more attention to family visits at Christmas.
– We have always invited the 1st family Christmas breakfast. But we won’t do that this year. We must meet in a safe and slightly different way. Among other things, we can do this outdoors, says Ottervik.
Christmas visit to a nursing home
Family members can visit their loved ones at Trondheim nursing homes this Christmas. The municipality also allows older people to visit relatives.
– Although the situation is under pressure, we are not introducing any new restrictions on nursing homes. They can be visited by two or three of the closest relatives in their own rooms, says Health and Wellness Director Helge Garåsen.
In addition, he says they tested more than 8,000 people last week and there are now about 200 working with monitoring and testing in Trondheim.
Mandatory for masks
Politicians in Trondheim on Wednesday approved an order for face masks in several places after a large spike in coronary heart disease recently. Now they present measures and recommendations for Christmas.
Since before, the municipality has ordered masks when traveling by public transport and taxi.
After a long time with few cases of infection, the infection has increased in Trondheim recently. On Thursday, the municipality reported 14 new cases of infection.
– We have now had a spike, and we also have more unknown infection routes than before. So it is important that we go the extra mile and make sure we stop the infection, says Mayor Rita Ottervik (Labor) to NRK.

Health and Wellness Director Helge Garåsen says that one of the main reasons for the spread of the infection is that several infected people do not know they are infected.
– We have discovered that many of those who have a crown do not know it themselves, because they have no symptoms. That’s why wearing a mask now is so important, says Ottervik.
The order that arrived yesterday applies in areas where there are many people outdoors and in several public places indoors. Places where it is difficult to maintain the subway rule.
