COVID-19

COVID-19 Á ÍSLANDI

As of now, the COVID-19 pandemic in Iceland has been contained so that each day, only occasional or no infections at all are diagnosed. This has been achieved through the joint effort and solidarity of the public, extensive screening for the disease, isolation of those infected, widespread tracking of infections and quarantine for those exposed to the virus. The public has also employed extensive prevention measures and strict limitations on public gatherings have been enforced.

The response of Icelandic authorities and the aim of measures to combat COVID-19 have been clear from the beginning. The emphasis has been on ensuring that the essential infrastructures, in particular the healthcare system, are ready to respond the unavoidable strain caused by the disease in Iceland.
