The Norwegian Institute of Public Health didn't want to close schools.
It's even concluded that it might have had negative effects (like the numbers in Iceland point to, they've tested 4x as many as Norway).

- seesawtron 6y agoI think you are confusing (i) closing schools in March (about which this article is and which I argued was a necessary thing to do as reasoned above) vs (ii) keeping schools closed NOW and not reopening (which is not the discussion here). The FHI report is about letting the schools open now as is being done in neighbouring countries but not yet done in Norway (correct me if it argues that schools should never have been closed). I could imagine that might be the right thing to do seeing that its happening EU-wide.
