Health Minister Bent Høie has warned that the final step of Norway’s four-step plan to reopen the country and lift coronavirus measures will be pushed back due to concerns over the spread of the Delta coronavirus variant, which was first identified in India. The next step of Norway’s reopening plan was due to be assessed and potentially announced next week, but now the government will instead focus on making sure Norway doesn’t take a step back, rather than moving forward with the reopening plan. “Next week will mark three weeks since we moved to step three, but with the uncertainty associated with the Delta variant, my priority will be to avoid taking a step back in the reopening plan, rather than taking a step forward,” Høie told newspaper Grown ups in charge in Norway too, evidently

Hospitality are doing a good job to press for more of the generous compensation they continue to receive. But a mature approach needed due to Delta. Strange that all the socialists on here are so eager for the greedy capitalist publicans to get their way.

Let the hedge funds buy your farms out and then we will not have to listen to your incessant moaning looking for more free hand outs,because us "adults" dont want to subsidise you anymore with our taxes while you sit on your millionaire assets. The good days are coming to an end and you know it.

Our government is working away on getting extra vaccines to vaccinate the population before opening slowly. Well done to them.

blanch152 wrote: » We can only analyse the opposition based on what they call for. Mary-Lou has got an awful lot wrong throughout the pandemic. Her problem is the opposition for opposition's sake position that she has continually adopted. When the government are getting the vast majority of things right, she looks stupid and clueless.

blanch152 wrote: » Yes, the government actually did stuff, and got most of it right. In a pandemic, nobody will get it all right. Just look at Alan "Zero Covid" Kelly for someone who got it completely wrong. Aren't you so lucky that SF backed away from that pretty quickly?
