The Norwegian was infected in China and returned home this weekend. The person is now healthy, but in the home quarantine in his own home.
Five Norwegians recently in an infected area in Italy are now being tested for the new coronavirus.
The five are now isolated at home in Elverum.
They even contacted an emergency room in Norway after they had the flu symptoms, writes Eastlendingen.

Then we have made sure that they are now isolated and do not go outside the house. They are doing well according to the circumstances, says municipal superintendent Knut Skulberg in Elverum to the newspaper.
The samples have now been sent to Oslo, where they will be analyzed either at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health or at Oslo University Hospital.
