Prime Minister Hælga Jakobsdottír
interviewed by the Laverian Radio

125 cases were recorded a few days ago on Laver Island, a new record which experts warn to be the result of inefficient anti-covid-19 measures. In response to the rising numbers and multiple experts advice, Prime Minister Hælga Jakobsdottír gathered her cabinet and invited the press to a press conference in the Ministry of State in Vulkanerborg castle.
With a population of only 500,525 and with 1320 active cases the new record has put a huge burden on the nation's health sector.

"It has become crystal clear that the current response to Covid is failing us, and the reopening of our societies is affecting Europe as a whole in a negative way. We want to make it clear that we wish to avoid another total lockdown of our society, the socially and economically vulnerable will be unable to cope with another lockdown and therefore we wish to tighten restrictions and invest in means of combating the disease more efficiently instead." The Prime Minister's view on potentially imposing a new lockdown stated in the press conference.

The new restrictions now require citizens to wear masks or visors in public space, with the only exceptions being restaurants and children under the age of 12.
Testing facilities will now open in tourist arrival spots and at least one testing facility be placed in every municipality, "We believe it is important that testing should become easily accessible with fast results so that tourists who wish to visit can do so without burdening our society with more of the virus." Stated by the Minister of Logistics and Local Governments Katrín Jonsdottír. "it is vital that we get accurate numbers on the disease and track its development and treat those who will need it."

Both public and private institutions will be required to provide disinfection tools at entrances and exits, as well as limiting the institution to only allow enough people to cover 1 person per 2 meters inside the buildings, educational institutions and daycares will be exempt.
Municipalities are given the liberty to impose even tougher restrictions to better address local situations which may differ.

During her interview with the Laverian Radio, Prime Minister Hælga Jakobsdottír stated "It is a tough time for everyone and we will do our best to lessen the severity of the virus and its impact. We at the government strongly believe our daily life and its many wonders should be the expense of the virus and not the lives of those vulnerable, as of now that seems to be only desired alternative to choose from." When asked how they came to the decision to increase testing The Prime Minister responded with: "Without knowing the numbers and where the virus is at its worst, it becomes difficult as a government to make the right decisions and communicating with the local governments about their situation."
The Prime Minister finished the interview with a statement: "We have invited our Skarlagen colleagues to discuss a mutual plan to address covid 19 and share resources with each other where and when necessary."

The Laverian Health Institution estimates the new restrictions to have a slow but snowballing effect which will decrease their prediction of 50% of the population getting infected at least once.
