In the days leading up to the new national measures to stop the spread of infection, which were introduced on Thursday, 72% of Norwegians say they trust the information provided by the authorities. 

That’s 1% above the average for the entire pandemic, according to a survey by Opinion.

A total of 14% say they do not trust the information provided by the authorities. The rest did not pick a position. 

“Confidence in information from the government has shown to be stable, but with a slightly increasing trend this autumn,” senior adviser Nora Clausen at Opinion said.
