FHI recommended already in mid-December to remove the test requirement upon entry, but the Norwegian Directorate of Health, on the other hand, recommended maintaining the requirement. This was justified by the fact that they wanted to ensure that as many cases of infection as possible were detected and isolated in order to prevent further spread of infection.
In their professional assessments FHI also writes that testing before travel, so-called “fit-for-flight” testing, should not be prioritized.
– This will mean that the medical Microbiological laboratories have to spend a lot of resources on testing with little use. Thus, the analysis time will be longer for other samples, says chief physician Preben Aavitsland to Dagbladet about the consequences for these schemes to be continued.
The government has not yet announced how they stand on FHI’s recommendation, but has allowed people who have received three vaccine doses or have received two vaccine doses and have undergone covid-19 infection in the last three months, to avoid taking confirmatory PCR test.
