On Monday night, the Oslo City Council announced new measures for the capital. The new measures came on top of the already intrusive measures in Oslo.

Just hours after the tightening in Oslo, Minister of Health Bent Høie also announced very strict measures throughout Viken county.

– We must probably expect continued high infection rates a few days ahead in Oslo and Viken, said assistant health director Espen Nakstad to Dagbladet on Tuesday morning after a new infection record was set with 367 new cases of infection.

The number of infections in Oslo in the last 24 hours will be known on Wednesday morning.
