In reality, the hospital has only half of those reported 25, reports warn.
– We do not know exactly what happened. We have to find out this, says communications manager Bjørn Hødal at Østfold Hospital in Kalnes.
He says it is unfortunate that the hospital may have created unnecessary concern for many.
On Friday, the hospital registered 15 people admitted with covid-19. Thus, it seemed like a sharp increase when they reported 25 inpatients the next day. The figure was posted on the hospital’s website.
The head of the infection department at Kalnes, Jetmun Ringstad, tells the newspaper that on Sunday they have ten inpatients with corona.
