Coronavirus cases in Norway top 400

Norway has now confirmed 401 coronavirus cases in total.

Just over 400 people had tested positive for the virus in Norway on Wednesday morning, according to Norwegian daily VG, which has collected all the country’s separate cases directly from each commune and put them into a map.

VG’s number is therefore higher than the one on the Norwegian Institute for Public Health (FHI) website (277), which only updates its number at 6pm every evening.

Norway confirmed its first case of the coronvirus on February 26th. While the number has increased rapidly since then this is partly due to Norwegian health authorities widespread testing of people who could have been contaminated by the virus.
