The current map of the spread of the virus in the world
I found in the Norwegian press:
50 PEOPLE IN THE QUARANTINE IN OSLO
there is a suspicion that the virus occurs in the following towns:
Tromso, Mo i Rana, Horten, Sauda
Coronavirus symptoms
The infection is characterized by fever. Then the lungs will be attacked.
Some patients have complained of a sore throat, which is considered a mild form of the disease. Those who are attacked more severely will eventually cough and have difficulty breathing.
Other known symptoms are headache, palpitations and, in the most dramatic cases, kidney failure. Coronavirus from China in Europe - is it dangerous?
The Norwegian health authorities believe that the disease is not as deadly as initially feared, but older people and people with chronic diseases are among the so-called Risk groups.
How to avoid infection.
As with all viruses and bacterial infections, the most important piece of advice to avoid contamination is to keep your hands hygienic by washing them with soap and water. In addition, hand disinfection can help keep you safe from becoming infected.
Protection.
Several pharmacies in Norway report that they do not have protective masks. However, this doesn't have to cause panic as health authorities don't recommend masks because they don't prevent it as well as many people think.
FHI writes on its website that people who wear masks often touch their face, increasing the risk of infection.
FHI: We also recommend keeping a distance of at least one meter for people with symptoms of respiratory infections such as coughing.
What may be the consequences of the virus in Norway?
We will close schools and kindergartens soon. Infection with the virus will lead to the closure of schools and kindergartens for a longer period in Norway. We will introduce this drastic measure if we find a burden on the healthcare system.
- We will implement measures that will always be aimed at ensuring that everyone, both infected with the virus and those with suspicion. All will receive sufficient health services, said Bent Høie, director of health.
COVID-19 Coronavirus What Can Happen?
Health Directorate Bjørn Guldvog in a press letter on Thursday morning forecasts.
“If 25 percent of the population becomes infected, and these are the predictions about which one The Norwegian Institute of Public Health asked the service health authorities to plan options for responding to the virus, this could mean that between 160 and 000 additional people will contact health services in the near future because of the disease," Guldvog said.
