The Norwegian Institute confirmed in another report on risk assessment, that "The mutant omicron poses a much lower risk than the mutant delta".
But the institute said that it expects a winter wave that will put health facilities under pressure, from January to March, when expectations indicate that "hundreds of thousands of people" They will get sick, with a daily peak that can approach 50,000 infections.
In Norway, with a population of 5.4 million, the government reimposed health measures in mid-December, including banning the sale of alcohol in bars and restaurants, and generalizing remote work when possible.
