Yup, you probably only have to look at the counts of infected tourists coming back. In Norway that is 89 from Italy, and 112 from Austria (25% of the total infected as of writing...)
- pmontra 7y agoIs Norway testing everybody coming back into the country?
- tallanvor 7y agoNo. In fact they just revised their testing criteria and will not test most people who are asked to quarantine at home. Testing is expected for people who have acute respiratory illness, people who are hospitalized, health care workers handling these cases, and immune-compromised people with mild symptoms.
- tremon 7y agoTrue, same here, in The Netherlands. Of the first 500 reported cases, around 25% were tourists returning from the Alps region (northern Italy, western Austria), and around 50% were traced to secondary infections from those first 25%. The other 25% were unexplained, hence we're now in the endemic spread phase. FAFAIK, we've never had a policy to pre-emptively test every returning tourist, and even now we don't test everybody. The current policy is to test new cases only if they have no relation to an already-established case. For example, people living in the same house as a known Corona case will not get tested. If they start showing symptoms, they're automatically assumed to have contracted it.
