On Monday, Health Minister Bent Høie (H) announced that the government decided that following the introduction of a national covid passport in Norway you will be able to use it on larger events and cruises .
But to avoid problems, be sure to check the information, the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) warns.
- If you do not check that the information is correct before you need the certificate, it may not be valid when you need it. Therefore, it is very important that those who plan to use the certificate log in and check their information and make sure everything is ok. Gun deputy director Peggy Knudsen from FHI informs.
Information can be checked on helsenorge.no and this is what the municipalities are responsible for helping their residents in the event of incorrect registrations or deficiencies .
Over the past month, NIPH encouraged people to check their information several times. This is because incorrect registrations and incomplete information have been discovered in the National Immunization Register (SYSVAK). Among other things, there may be incorrect registrations related to vaccination, Covid-19 infection or test results that could result in an invalid certificate.
It is also possible that in the passport the wrong date of birth is recorded. If you find it out you can contact the tax administration .
10 errors
Knudsen claims to have received feedback that everything is fine for the vast majority. Recently, department director Karianne Johansen of FHI reported that at that time they estimated there were approximately 10 failed registrations in the system.
Knudsen says it's only natural for errors to emerge when developing a new solution.
- It is perfectly natural to discover that mistakes happen, and it can be both human failure and mistakes along the entire registration chain. Knudsen says, and adds that it's a good thing that they have the option of eliminating errors before the document is really needed.
Your covid passport may be invalid
- We need a lot more time to come up with a solution that is 100 percent perfect, and we are not able to do it at the current pace and time pressure.
- The interest in knowledge and information about the crown certificate was huge. Sometimes the pressure was so great that we weren't able to fully answer all the questions that arose, says Guldvog, and continues:
- But I think now that the public can read carefully on helsenorge.no and see how the certificate can be used, you will see relatively quickly that it is not that complicated.
