“We are doing what we can to adjust our capacity to the demand. We added 500 appointments today and another 500 tomorrow,” says Steinar Eirikstoft, managing director of the Hospital Service.
“We are at full capacity now, so we can just ask people to be patient and try to look for a vacant slot in the coming days.”
There are currently 3,003 active Covid cases in the country. Seven of these are in hospital, five of whom due to Covid and two for other reasons.
