“In private homes, gardens or cabins, you should not have more than five guests in addition to the members of the household.”
The government asked professionals for advice, but neither FHI nor the Norwegian Health Directorate proposed this measure for the whole country.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health wanted a limit of ten people and the Norwegian Health Directorate a limit of five in heavily infected municipalities.
Kjersti Toppe of the Center Party believes that the move is incomprehensible. The leader of the Left Socialist Party Audun Lysbakken wants to change the Infection Control Law.

Explain
What are the new crown measures for the entire country?
for answers
How many can I invite home?
You cannot invite more than five people to visit your home. If the people you invite are another family, more than five, that’s fine.
And the younger ones?
Children going to primary school or kindergarten can be visited by more than five friends if those visiting are from the same class / group. Therefore, the little ones can still invite them to a birthday or Halloween party.
How many can you meet in a week?
Everyone should try to meet fewer people in a week. It is recommended that you have no more than ten close contacts a week. The ones you meet at work or school don’t count.
How many can be gathered?
No more than 50 people can attend private events, rented or rented premises. Before, 200 could be collected. Infection control rules and a distance of one meter must be observed.
What about outdoor events?
Previously, 600 people could gather outdoors at an event without permanent seating. Now all guests must have a fixed place in a fixed seat.
These are the new crown measures
– The government demands too much
Health policy spokesperson at Sp Kjersti Toppe calls the rule of a limit of five guests in the home incomprehensible. She believes that the government is stretching people’s trust too much and that they are demanding too much from the population.
– This is a national measure that is only a political decision. So I don’t understand what the government knows better than our professional authorities, says Kjersti Toppe during Politisk kvarter on Wednesday.

Toppe encourages the government to present matters to the Storting so that decisions are anchored in the assembly elected by the people.
– When we experience the largest closure of the country after WWII, without the Storting having to be involved, it goes without saying that the powers are too broad, says Toppe.
Lysbakken will change the law
SV Audun Lysbakken’s leader also believes the government has gone too far. He wants to change the Infection Control Act so that the Storting participates in the discussions about the new corona measures.
– The monopoly of power that the government has won has become a problem. It goes fast and there are disagreements. I think it is a problem that the most intrusive measures are not rooted in a majority in the Storting, Lysbakken said during Politisk kvarter on Wednesday.

He wants proposals that are too intrusive to people to be sent to the Storting for consideration. So it means that people and industries are listened to, while preserving the power of action.
– I think that openness and that all elected representatives are involved is important to maintain enthusiasm for the measures among the population, says Lysbakken.
Balance between two different boards
Health Minister Bent Høie says it is urgent to put measures in place quickly and that every day counts, because the infection is now increasing considerably.
The five-guest rule, he says, is a balance between two different city councils that will prevent the infection from spreading in vulnerable municipalities.
– When there is a very high risk of infection in private contexts, this is best applied to the whole country. We do not know when the infection reaches the municipalities without infection, says Høie.
Høie believes that a possible change to the Infection Control Law should be discussed after the crisis.
