“In the last 24 hours, 1,156 corona infection cases were registered in Norway, and we are in the third wave. The FHI’s weekly report registered 5,337 new infection cases last week. That is the highest number in a week since the pandemic started,” Høie said.
On Wednesday, 226 corona-infected patients were admitted to hospitals in Norway. That is an increase of two patients from the day before.
