Høie warns about a national face mask advisory on Friday

Oslo Municipality wants a national advisory for face masks on buses and trams. On Friday, an advisory on the use of face masks in public transportation will be made, the Minister of Health warns.

-”Everyone must be prepared for the advisory to come on Friday.”, said Høie in Dagsnytt 18 on NRK on Tuesday evening.

The background for the advisory is the increase in infections, states the Minister of Health. 

On Tuesday, City Councilor, Raymond Johansen (AP), stated that they will not introduce the advisory on the use of face masks in public transportation in Oslo without there being a notional council first. 

The emergency center in West Oslo agreed this week that the authorities should make face masks mandatory in public places.
