The assistant director at the Norwegian Directorate of Health, Espen Nakstad, says the country should be recording under 200 daily Covid-19 cases before lifting national restrictions.
The senior official said that due to the more contagious B117 variant, which originated in the United Kingdom, being the most dominant strain of Coronavirus in Norway that it will be more difficult to keep infection numbers down.
“It will be demanding throughout April, and well into May, to be able to lower the infection rates sufficiently with a lasting effect,” Nakstad told news agency NTB.
“We need well under 200 daily cases of infection to be able to start thinking about reopening at all,” he said.

The AstraZeneca shot was supposed to be
the vaccine for a couple of billion people. It is inexpensive at just a couple of dollars per dose and can be stored in an ordinary fridge unlike the mRNA vaccines. But after reports the shot may trigger a rare side effect, and the company’s string of communication blunders, public health officials worry that the people in some countries may have lost faith in the world’s most important vaccine.
