It is uncertain how many of the litter of 2,500 young people who have participated in the celebration recently, but the infection chiefs at Nord-Jæren describe the situation as confusing.
– We strongly encourage the Russians to cancel meetings and “rolling” which involves gathering in a bus and the like until the situation is clarified, says chief physician in Sandnes Hans Petter Torvik.
– Does not have an overview
The six Russian youths who are infected with covid-19 go to five different schools in Sør-Rogaland.
– Russ from different schools and different buses have been together and driven around the whole district. The infection is not linked to a group or a cohort, says Torvik.
Therefore, he asks everyone who has participated in the Russian celebration on Jæren and on Nord-Jæren to test themselves.
Everyone must take the test twice, with five days in between, and stay in the home quarantine until there is a negative answer to the first test.
– This means that very many are placed in quarantine and some in quarantine, says Torvik.
Asymptomatic household members do not need to be tested.
– It is important that everyone who gets symptoms, tests themselves, says Torvik.
– Can trigger a new wave of infection
– How serious is the situation?
– This shows that there is significant infection among young people. We do not have a complete overview of this now. This could trigger a new wave of infections in our region.
– Have you feared such an infection among russ?
– Yes, we have been worried that this could happen.
The infection among the Russians takes place just before the municipalities on Nord-Jæren will decide whether to facilitate the local measures.
Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola and Randaberg will discuss any relief in a meeting on Tuesday. Mayor of Stavanger Kari Nessa Nordtun will not comment on whether this situation will affect the election until after the meeting.
– Sad
Eirik Endresen and Jon Henrik Tjemsland are russ at St. Olav upper secondary school in Stavanger.
They believe that the infection situation may lead to an increase in infection again.
– It would have been very sad because we had missed the whole Russian period. But I hope that it will calm down, and that people will take a little more responsibility. Then we get a better Russian celebration towards the end.

– What happens if it shuts down now?
– I still think people get to have kind of a Russian celebration. It will be more like home school, a Teams Russian celebration perhaps.
Preparing for mass testing
In the municipalities on Nord-Jæren, no russ is allowed to come to school on Tuesday.
– All graduating students at all high schools in Sandnes, Stavanger and Randaberg are in the clarification quarantine until they have tested themselves, says infection control chief in Stavanger, Runar Johannessen, to NRK on Tuesday morning.
The municipalities are preparing for a major move for testing on Tuesday.
Stavanger has equipped itself to test up to 1000 people in one day. The test station at Klepp, which is common to Sandnes, Gjesdal, Klepp, Time and Hå, has also expanded its capacity to test 1,000 people.
