The profiled health peak speaks for itself Dagbladet that it is gratifying when the National Institute of Public Health now reports that the infection rate R has dropped to 1.0. This shows that the measures are beginning to have an effect, Nakstad states.
– We must take it as a motivation, he says.
But the assistant health chief believes it is too early to start talking about reopening now.
– First, the R-number must be well below 1.0. Then it must be there for a few weeks, so that we get the infection down properly. Then you can start easing measures, says Nakstad.
He believes the risk of a recoil will be great if the relief comes too quickly.
– We must have an effect on infection rates and control the spread of infection throughout Norway before it can be justifiable to start easing measures.
