«We see an increasing trend of infection in Ringerike. We monitor the situation closely and evaluate it on an ongoing basis.»Wrote the municipality in a situation report on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the situation got even worse.
– What we see now is that the infection in the last 24 hours has led to quite a few people being quarantined and awaiting quarantine, says municipal chief doctor Karin Møller to Ringerikes Blad.
With so many in quarantine, both municipal and private companies are under threat, in water and sewage areas, schools, kindergartens and shops, he says.
Healthcare professionals who do not work with “MUST” tasks are also moving to infection monitoring and testing due to high demand.
According to Ringerikes Blad, city council politicians, without Mayor Kirsten Orebråten, who is being tested for the virus on Wednesday night, at the time of writing this report will receive a proposal for local regulations to apply as of Friday if adopted Thursday. .
– The regulations will be similar to the ones we present for Christmas, with some nuances, says Møller.
This means restrictions on the number of people that can meet and the closure of various meeting places. The dumping stops will be part of the picture that the city council is now processing.
Møller says the municipality “must close to avoid collapse.”
