JAKARTA - The option for lockdown or lockdown in Norway is starting to show results. Along with that, the lockdown relaxation was carried out to turn the economy back on. To that end, in mid-June, most public and private institutions in Norway began to reopen.

This was announced directly by the government on Thursday, May 7. In fact, gradually, educational institutions are also part of the plan to ease lockdowns.

Kindergarten (TK) which is planned to open on April 27 and Elementary School (SD) from grade one to grade four may return to study on April 27. Unfortunately, junior high schools (SMP) to senior high schools (SMA) remain temporarily closed.

Launching Reuters, the trigger was none other than the lockdown policy implemented since March 12 that had succeeded in reducing the number of patients contracting COVID-19. As a result, the pandemic was brought under control and the government began preparing easing phases since the end of April.

"Thanks to our joint efforts since March, we have controlled the contamination. Therefore, over time, we can mitigate the toughest steps," said Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg.

Returning activity

In line with the easing policy, several business centers are ready to reopen. Bars and other entertainment venues are set to open on June 1. In addition, private meetings with a maximum of 20 people have been allowed since Thursday, May 7 yesterday. The government is also preparing a big step, namely planning the local football league to return to competition on June 16.

Meanwhile, regarding the fight against COVID-19 remains the government's top priority. For this reason, negotiations are still ongoing so that a new wave of contamination does not occur in Norway. "We are now in the Controlling the outbreak phase," said Solberg.

However, regarding the exact time for the lifting of the lockdown rule, the government has not dared to confirm it. Because, so far Norway is still reflecting on other countries in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. "We don't have an answer on this yet," added Solberg.

So far Norway has confirmed 7,995 cases of COVID-19 transmission. Among them, there were 209 cases who died.
