All have been told to stay at home at easter. The collective dugnaden to prevent that very many people are sick at one time – and that people who need health care should get it.
And it has worked, reported the health minister Bent High on Monday afternoon.
Before we introduced the strict measures, so infected every person in Norway with korona in an average of 2.5 other people, ” said High.
the Number now is probably as low as 0,7. It means that the epidemic is under control.

Because you have been extra strict in the north, one in the large extent, managed to curb the infection. In the whole of the northern region is 247 persons confirmed infected by koronaviruset as of Monday 6. april. 16 people are hospitalized.
There are fewer than one would have had based on the proportion of the population.

Then they have 11 local hospitals in North Norway, the larger the pre-requisites to take away the infection. With 86 respiratorer in the northernmost region, it is an advantage that not all become infected at the same time.
– we Get a very high peak, we may run the risk that neither we or the major hospitals in the region have the capacity to treat. When will there be a part that does not get treatment and may die because of it, ” says Sunde.
” The fact that it extends out in time is only a small cost to pay for that we shall get a lower number.
Røsbø in Finnmark county medical association believe the late top also makes sure the doctors are better prepared, and that one can reap by the experience of them that lies ahead in the course.
