Voltersvik asks the people of Bergen to take the recommendation seriously.

The chief infection control officer believes that the high infection rates are due to the fact that many more people test themselves than before. It reveals several infected.

– At the same time, we have a much more open society and people are more together. We must accept that we have a greater freedom now.
