Commission hails Norway’s ‘resiliency’
April 14, 2021
Norway has survived the Corona pandemic better than most, according to a state commission that delivered its verdict Wednesday on how the country has handled it. Preparedness for a pandemic was poor, as it was in most other countries, but “Norwegian resiliency” based on the public’s trust in their leaders has carried the country through what the commission called Norway’s “greatest crisis since World War II.”
