Outbreaks at nightclubs
– We have had an outbreak over a long period of time. But last weekend, there were a number of more cases of infection that are linked to several nightclubs in Tromsø, says municipal chief physician Inger Holde Tandem.
In a press release earlier this week, the municipal superior asked people who had been to Heidi’s Bier Bar last weekend to test themselves.
– We now encourage everyone who has been to Heidi’s Bier Bar last Friday and Saturday, to get tested, whether they have symptoms or not.
According to VGs figures, three new infected people were registered in Tromsø municipality, and the trend in registered infected people is rising. 114 infections have been registered in Troms and Finnmark in the last two weeks.
