Norway: Close to 4,000 corona deaths in Norway

NordenBladet – There are now close to 4,000 corona deaths in Norway. “The increase is due to the fact that there has been much more infection in 2022 than earlier,” says Espen Nakstad to P4.

On March 16, Norway passed 2,000 corona deaths. Two weeks ago, the number was 3,890, according to figures from the Institute of Public Health.

“Although the vaccines protect well against becoming seriously ill, it is clear that when several million people become infected, some die, and especially the eldery,” says Nakstad.

Most of those who die are over 80, and 60 percent live in nursing homes.
