This article documents the impacts of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in Norway, and may not include all the contemporary major responses and measures.

Timeline

Semi-log plot of COVID-19 total cases, new cases and total deaths per-day in Norway. Data from statistics part of this article.

On 26 February, Norway confirmed the first case of COVID-19. The Norway Institute of Public Health announced that someone tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after returning from China the previous week. The female patient was asymptomatic and in good health. She underwent a voluntary isolation at her home in Tromsø.[1][2]

On 27 February, the Norway Institute of Public Health announced that three more people were confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2. Two of them lived in Oslo and were linked to the outbreak in Italy. The other lived in Bærum and was linked to the outbreak in Iran. All of them underwent a voluntary isolation at home.[3]

On 28 February, an individual from Bergen and an employee of Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål, tested positive and were placed in home isolation. Both had visited Northern Italy.[4][5]

On 28 February, there were 6 confirmed cases in Norway.[4]

On 29 February, there were 15 confirmed cases in Norway.[4]

By Sunday, 1 March, a total of 19 cases were confirmed. Bjørn Atle Bjørnbeth, the Chief of the Ullevål hospital in Oslo, informed that there are potentially over 100 people who came in contact with an infected staff member.[6][7]

On 3 March there were 25 confirmed cases in Norway, with 5 from Vestland. An employee at the kjøpesenteret Horisont in Åsane is confirmed to have been infected by the virus, says center manager Lise Færøvik.[8] Until this time, most cases are imported from Italy, and none of the cases are seriously ill thus all self-quarantined at home. A worst case is evaluated with a quarter of the Norwegian population infected, and measures are being taken by the governments to handle 1 million people.

On 4 March, there were 56 confirmed cases in Norway, all of which are linked to known outbreaks abroad.[9] So far only some few of those have been infected in Norway (notably 5 cases in one department of the Ullevål hospital, infected by a colleague who had been to Italy).

By 10 March the number of confirmed cases in Norway had spiked to 400, and a rising number of those cases could not be traced to foreign travel or any known person infected, indicating community transmission had started in Norway. [10]

On 12 March a national lock-down was announced, effective from 6 PM the same day. For two weeks, schools, kindergartens, fitness centres, hair saloons etc. are closed. Sports and cultural events and gatherings are banned and restrictions apply to restaurants.[11] These measures are in line with the those introduced in other European countries such as Denmark and Italy.

On 12 March Norway had its first death due to the COVID-19 virus. The victim was elderly and died at Oslo University Hospital.[12]

As of 13 March, among nations with at least one million citizens, Norway has the world's second highest per capita rate of positive coronavirus cases at 167.5 cases per million people, just behind South Korea with a rate of 155.6 cases per million people for a total of 7979 cases.[13]
