Several young people outside the risk groups have been placed on respirators at the intensive care unit at Bærum Hospital, sources say Budstikka.

The people in question are between 20 and 45 years of age and without underlying diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic lung disease, cancer and / or high blood pressure, the newspaper writes.

According to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI), only 17 of the 74 corona infected persons who have received intensive care in Norway are under 50 years of age.

Neither Vestre Viken HF nor FHI will comment on specific hospital admissions to Budstikka.
