TV 2 correspondent Fredrik Græsvik informs Dagbladet that he has recently been infected with corona, and that he believes that he may have infected NRK’s US correspondent Lars Os.
Os himself confirms to Dagbladet that he “apparently” is corona infected – probably with the omicron variant.
On the night of the second Christmas day Norwegian time, NRK’s Lars Os posted a post on his Instagram page.
– No one doubts that this was a fantastic meal by Fredrik Græsvik. Just a shame I could not taste any of the ribs. Merry Christmas! he writes, and attach the subject tags # covid_19 and #pandemic.
– Probably infected by me
We have previously told Medier24 that he planned to have Christmas dinner with, among others, TV 2 correspondent Fredrik Græsvik.
Græsvik, for his part, writes the following, under a picture of this year’s Christmas ribs:
– I nailed it. Have! Too bad one of my guests came with corona and was devoid of taste buds.
In the post, he has tagged Os, and attached the hashtag # covid-19.
Græsvik writes in an SMS to Dagbladet that he himself has just been infected, and that he came out of quarantine on Thursday.
This worries him the most now
– The guest was NRK’s Lars Os, who was probably infected by me, he writes.
Græsvik says that he only got symptoms on Tuesday last December 14, and believes that he may have infected Os around then.
– By all accounts corona
Os elaborates in an e-mail to Dagbladet on the second day of Christmas:
Expert: – Afraid of losing
– By all accounts, it’s probably corona, yes. I discovered that the sense of taste and smell was gone when I ate the ribs that Fredrik had made last night, he writes. On Tuesday I tested negative on a PCR test, but the same night I got a galloping fever, and became quite lethargic the next day.
However, he has not tested himself again, due to what he describes as “huge queues” at the clinics in Washington DC.
– I just kept calm. Quick tests are not available in the shops, everyone wanted to test themselves before Christmas. It takes several days to get an answer, so I have only behaved as if I was infected by covid.
