Despite the measures, almost 100 people were infected during the evening, writes Expressen.

However, it is not only Christmas table participants who tested positive for corona, according to the infection control doctor Tine Ravlo who speaks in the Norwegian media.

– It is the guests at the Christmas table, but some of those who have now been confirmed infected are people who did not participate at the Christmas table, she tells VG.

The person who is believed to have caused the spread is a employees at the company Scatec, which was behind the Christmas table. The employee had returned a few days earlier from South Africa, where a vaccine & shy; resistant but less dangerous variant of corona is spread. However, all types of corona should be visible on tests, but the cheaper so-called antigen tests have a margin of error that is not insignificant, regardless of the type of corona.
