On Monday, doctor Trine Hessevik Paulsen at the National Institute of Public Health told Dagbladet that so far it is uncertain how extensive the outbreak in the coming flu season will be in Norway.
– It has been several years since there was plenty of influenza virus in Norway, and therefore we assume that the immunity of the population is lower than it usually is. In the event of an outbreak of influenza next winter, this can contribute to many people becoming ill, Paulsen tells Dagbladet and continues:
– At the same time, we have seen that the measures against coronavirus as a whole have led to the absence of influenza. It is therefore possible that any measures against covid-19 also this winter may contribute to a lower level of influenza in Norway. In other words, we are facing an uncertain winter with the flu in mind.
