The case is being updated.
“Stjørdal had two positives on the rapid test yesterday, which has now been confirmed by PCR today. In addition, five close contacts of the infected have tested positive today “, the municipality writes in a press release on Monday night.
A total of 165 have been quarantined and about 450 household members of these are quarantined, Stjørdal municipality states.
“This includes many children. They are affiliated with Aglo kindergarten center and Fagerhaug International school in Stjørdal. We do not suspect that they have been infected in school or kindergarten “, it is stated in the press release.
– There are close ties between those who have been tested, so they have been well controlled. But we must test those who have been around them lately, says municipal chief physician Leif Edvard Muruvik Vonen.
Mass testing of close contacts is planned for Wednesday. The press release states that “everyone who is tested must wait for a clear signal from the infection tracking team before they can end the quarantine, this applies regardless of their own test result.”
– Since we are talking about a number of children from kindergartens and schools, we feel that we have decent control locally in Stjørdal, says Vonen.
“We will follow the situation closely in the future, and work closely with other nearby municipalities also in the coming week,” the press release states.
