The Norwegian Directorate of Health justifies that “sting barriers are considered to have a significant infection control effect.

He hopes there will be congestion in the city Tuesday night before the midnight action takes effect, and he hopes some players may want to take advantage of the opportunity to vacate the warehouse as much as possible.
Beer at an empty price

– Visitors should at least be confident that we can control the infection. There will not be a full feast in our places, he insists.

Uncertainty for employees

He appreciates that the Minister of Commerce and Industry recognizes the social importance of the industry and that many compensation schemes are currently being introduced but wage support for employees is very important.
– It would have been nice if they had given us a wage compensation and then we would have stopped sending them to the NAV.
Sent 61 dismissal notices
Rasmussen believes it’s urgent to create a wage compensation plan, but says that for restaurants, it’s more important than them.
He justifies this with the fact that they can stay open without serving too much wine, while it is important to provide wine to be open to nightclubs.
On Monday, Rasmussen was forced to send layoff notices to all 61 employees at the company.
– I think none of the staff were surprised, but of course they think it’s too bad, he says.
Rasmussen says almost all employees should be laid off.
– We may have to keep the accounting staff in a certain percentage of positions, but this often means closing for us.
