the Norwegian board of Health commend the job the city of Oslo, allows to track the infection. In addition, infected now be isolated into a hotel.
Are you sick and live together with others in smaller homes, so it is hard to isolate themselves and limit the infection. Therefore it is a good idea to use the free hotellkapasitet, so you don’t infect others, ” says Nakstad.
Inmates of the hotel will be followed up by health workers through regular contact over the phone.
– Restrictions do not follow municipal borders

– When we shall reopen schools and kindergartens in areas with low infection, so it can happen with little risk. Places with more infection, we must be happy to have other measures to be on the safe side, ” says Nakstad.
He believes that the restrictions forward do not need to follow the municipal borders. But allows for extra smittetiltak where there is a certain infection and isolate those who are sick.
” It is important that we have good, basic smittevernregler in the entire country. It may show up infections all over the place. People travel still within the country. In addition, it can get infections from abroad.
