OSLO - Norway’s capital Oslo will tighten lockdown measures to combat a sharp rise in coronavirus infections linked to a more contagious variant, the city’s governing mayor said on Sunday.
The variant, which was first identified in Britain, started spreading in Oslo in January and now accounts for 50-70% of infections, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said on Saturday.“We have to tighten the measures,” Raymond Johansen, the governing mayor of Oslo, told a news conference. In Oslo, all restaurants, except take-away services, and non-essential shops, except groceries, pharmacies and liquor stores, will have to close from Tuesday, while the “red” level is imposed at upper secondary schools, meaning that students, who were fully back at school, will now do some online learning.
The city also planned to start mass testing at schools later in March to better track the virus spread.
They better start looking at mental health, because the more you lock up people the crazier they can become. People are at a tipping point now, and it will not take much for things to escalate. I feel for the modern family of today, with everyone locked up together.
Makes no sense. It's been proven lockdowns dont stop a virus. Meanwhile in SA they down to level 1. Life is returning to 'normal'
Ufff .... Again ... 🙄🥺🥺🥺
Yeah...close everything. Forever....
Good for Norway
