If you live with someone who has been diagnosed with the coronavirus disease, you must be quarantined pending a negative test result.
The government is now introducing two tightening of quarantine and isolation measures to ease pressure on healthcare. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Labor Party) announced on Tuesday the coronavirus situation in the Storting.
* If you live with someone who is infected, you must remain in quarantine until you receive a negative response to your own test. This applies whether you have been vaccinated or not. To avoid quarantine, vaccinated people must be retested within seven days. While unvaccinated people have to be tested daily for seven days. Mouse tests can be done with a home test or every other day with a PCR test.
If you live with an infected person, you must be quarantined
- For children, it is not an obligation, but a recommendation - emphasized Støre.
* If you are infected yourself, you must remain in isolation for five days, not two, which used to be the rule until now. You should be free from fever for 24 hours until quarantine is completed.
- In some situations, more stringent measures will be needed. We are in this position now, said Støre.
