The latest infection numbers in Norway
There are now 3,315 positive cases in Norway at the time of writing, with 14 people now confirmed dead. While the increasing numbers of positive cases are increasing, it's the number hospitalised that is most concerning. There are 266 people hospitalised around the country, a number that has risen significantly in recent days. 70 of those currently hospitalised are in intensive care.
More than 24,000 people registered mild coronavirus-like symptoms within a few hours of a new online reporting tool going live. The health authority wants everyone with respiratory systems to register. You can read all about how to do that here. While not everyone reporting mild symptoms is going to have the coronavirus, the health authorities admit the true number is higher than the current reports.
That's because anyone subject to home quarantine is not being tested unless they are showing serious symptoms. This is to prioritise people who need urgent care. Last week's rapid rise of cases spurred the health authorities and Norwegian government into taking dramatic action.
