public health should be point number one, but at the same time, we will get your wheels to begin to go as fast as it is possible where it is possible, ” says Senterparti leader Trygve Slagsvold Vedum to NRK.
CONCERNED: the Leader Trygve Slagsvold Vedum of the centre party believes that the opening of schools and kindergartens in “smittefrie” areas can be to reduce the cost of koronatiltakene.

Vedum is like many others concerned about the explosive increase in unemployment in the wake of the measures to curb koronasmitten. Especially difficult for parts of the workplace is that schools and kindergartens are closed, and many employees therefore need to be at home and look after the children themselves.
– the State provides the clear advice. But if there are different infection rates in different parts of the country, so should the government think through whether you can soften up a bit different and give a local skjønnsmulighet, says Vedum.

Senterparti-the leader pulls out Hasvik kommune in Troms and Finnmark as an example. Hasvik is situated on the south island and had per kl. 1430 Friday zero registered koronasmittede.
– Hasvik is an island, and if it turns out that there is no koronasmitte on the island, so it is not certainly there is no reason for not skoleungene where to be able to go to school even if it is a big problem at Ullern in Oslo, norway that there are many koronasmittede there, says Vedum.
the Mayor of Hasvik, Eva D. Acts (Ap), is well on the way to agree with Vedum.
POSITIVE: Mayor Eva D. Acts (Ap) says the conditions in the municipality, suggest that the local opening of schools and kindergartens can work.

– We are both an unfortunate and fortunate situation, since we are on an island. We have a control on the people who come here. We have as of now no proven cases of korona, and we feel that we have good control, ” says the Society to NRK.
She supports the idea of local scope to assess their own action, partly to the opening of schools and kindergartens.
– We have small classes and large classrooms. I hope we get to use the lokaldemokratiske styringsretten also in this, says the Society.
the minister for health, sceptical
the ministry of Children and familieminister Kjell Britain Ropstad (KrF), says to NRK that he hopes the professional advice suggests that we can open all the schools and kindergartens as quickly as possible. But if this is not possible, he is open to be flexible.
do NOT REJECT: the ministry of Children and familieminister Kjell Britain Ropstad (KrF) is positive in some schools and kindergarten can open if not everyone can do it.

– If there are areas where there is no infection, then the there could be arguments that you can open just the areas. While if there is a great infection in other areas, so it is the more important to maybe keep closed in those areas, ” says Ropstad.
however, the Issue is not up to Ropstad to determine. It was the Norwegian directorate of Health, referring to smittevernloven, as 12. march decided that all schools and kindergartens in the country would shut down. In the government it is therefore the health and care services ms. Bent Tall (H) which has the responsibility for the further follow-up. He did not want to open for local discretion.
SAYS NO: Health and care services ms. Bent Tall (H) mean the closure of schools and kindergartens works best when all the municipalities are doing it together.

– No, this I think is a pretty bad idea. I think these measures work best when we do them together, and not least, I think people actually feel that things are pretty equal, say High to the NRK.
He says the government will make an overall assessment of the measures to a week and then decide what should be the situation after easter.
not the ministry of justice and beredskapsminister Monica Mæland (H), which coordinates the handling of koronakrisen in government, is particularly open to let the municipalities themselves have to decide whether it is “safe” to open schools and kindergartens again.

– No, we are going to give a clear message nationally. We must have one set of rules in this country, and it is to close schools and open schools are a national responsibility which we must take, ” says Mæland at the Norwegian broadcasting corporation.
– It is the nation that decides?
– Yes, what I mean is basically. So, we know that some municipalities just before the government took its decision decided to close the schools out from smittevernhensyn, and it has the full opportunity to. But I believe that this must be a national decision, then we’ll come back to what it contains, ” says Mæland.
