Months after Norway celebrated its reopening, strict measures were again introduced in December to reduce runaway delta infection and as a precautionary measure in the meeting with the new omikron variant.
Stoltenberg says ABC News that some of the measures were too strict.
– Yes, I’m sure some of them have been. We have always tried to give advice on the right levels of action, but because the uncertainty has been so great every time there has been a new variant, we had to start with scenarios and the risk that the new variant could be as serious as the previous one, she says.
– This was also the case with omikron just before Christmas. The measures we had from mid-December 2021 to mid-January 2022, they were probably too strict, but it was not possible to know in mid-December, says Stoltenberg.
