"I want to start by saying: Now that's a big deal," Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said at the urgently government-convened press conference on the pandemic.
"It has not been many days since we introduced the new measures, but the infection has risen sharply since then," says Støre, who adds that there is no indication that the infection situation has reversed and therefore measures need to be strengthened.
The government returns to the Armed Forces to help municipalities that need it in vaccinating their residents. Pharmacies will also help at national level.
- At the weekend, the government turned to the army for help for communes that need it. The Armed Forces will be able to organize response teams with employees of the sanitary services of the Armed Forces, volunteers, dentists and medical staff. This is Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre speaking.
In several places around the country, pharmacies contributed to vaccination. Now the government wants to extend this program to the entire country.
The government is introducing a yellow level in all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in the country.
- It is very important for us to protect children and young people as much as possible so that they can be in school and kindergarten. When we change the levels to yellow and red now, it is to prevent infection and to ensure that students and teachers stay healthy and can be in school, says Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The yellow level signifies control measures, increased hygiene, good hygiene practices and that no sick person should go to school.
. Holidays
The people of Norway can travel to their loved ones for Christmas, says the prime minister.
- It's gonna be Christmas. You can come home for Christmas and be with your loved ones. We cannot be together in large groups, but we can be for each other. This is Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre speaking.
The Prime Minister asks people to care for those who need it at Christmas.
- Look around, who can you make a difference for? Together, we now need to line up to reverse this trend. We can do it.

Infection control
Infection control mandate for kindergartens, schools and other education and training activities.
Amusement parks, playgrounds, arcades and the like will be closed.
Pools, water parks, spas and hotel pools and gyms may only be open to:
Individual training. Stay 2 meters away during high-intensity training.
School swimming, swimming lessons, swimming training and competitive swimming with the organizer.
Rehabilitation and training offered individually or in small groups with the organizer.
Another individual treatment that you can make an appointment for.
To be open, the following businesses must be run professionally: Libraries, museums, bingo halls, swimming pools, water parks, SPA facilities, hotel pools, gyms, shopping malls, shops, fairs, and time markets like.
This comes with the requirements of ensuring that it is possible to keep at least 1 meter away from people who are not in the same household or in a similar neighborhood, and that the company has established procedures for good hygiene, good cleaning and ventilation.
Industry supervision should be restored, e.g. gyms and swimming pools. In practice, this means that there will be more stringent infection control requirements.
Masks
Mandatory for the use of face masks when it is not possible to keep at least 1 meter distance in shops, shopping malls, restaurants, public transport, taxis and internal stations. The order also applies to workers, unless physical barriers are applied.
The masks also apply to hairdressers, dermatologists and other individual companies.
Home office
Ordering employers to let employees work from home as long as it is practicable and does not obstruct important and necessary activities in the workplace, including caring for children and vulnerable groups.
Quarantine
Common rules for isolation and quarantine regardless of the virus variant.
Quarantine obligation for household members and relatives with the possibility of checking themselves after 7 days.
