In order to avoid congestion in hospital, the prime minister of Norway announced more severe measures. They are doing whatever they can to spare children from effects like small cohorts and lockdown. So let’s get our grip and do our share.
Masks should be worn whenever 1 meter distance can’t be followed. Even outdoors.
We should limit social contact. Reduce the amount of people you hang out with. Also for single people.
1 meter distance. Keep a distance from people who don’t live with you.
Max 20 indoor training. At the gym, maximum twenty people can work out together in the same room. Everybody is stimulated to work out outdoors whenever possible, instead of indoors.
Home office. Oh, yes. It’s back. All those who can, should work from home, to avoid contact with more people and more spreading of the virus. Bosses should allow flexible working hours if home office is not possible, to avoid traffic jam and many people together.
Max 10 guests at home. It means also for Christmas and New Year’s. If it’s a rented place for a party, then maximum 20 guests.
Arrangements. 1 meter. It means the table next to yours at a bar or restaurant should be 1 meter away from you.
Stop serving alcohol at midnight. It’s the Cinderella thing. At midnight, bars and restaurants stop serving drinks. Go home.
Thursday night. All these measures will be implemented on Thursday, the 10th, at midnight.
Infection and quarantine. If someone near you gets Covid-19 and there’s suspicious of this new omicrom, you must get tested and stay home for 10 days quarantine. You must take the PCR test. On the seventh day after you had contact with the infected person, if your test is negative, then you are free from quarantine.
Infected should do PCR and quarantine for 10 days.
Schools and universities must introduce more online classes. Kindergartens and elementary school won’t have changes per now, but they must be prepared to use traffic lights system again. They may be moved to yellow.
Children can have visit from classmates from the same cohort.
I think these are the most important for now.
No changes according to travel regulations for tourists. Go figure.
I think that the prime minister is right. It’s not easy to deal with this pandemia.
