Now some 80-90 of the 120 are PCR pos, 13 of these confirmed omicron, the rest waiting for sequencing results. Some of those infected w omicron were not at the party but present at the same restaurant that evening. Not looking good re transmissibility.
Update. Min. 60 at the party infected. Now nearing 100 cases in total that night, some not with the party but present at the same venue. Screening (likely S gene dropout PCR): about 50 suspected Omicron, the rest not yet screened. 13 confirmed Ο. https://nrk.no/norge/fhi_-19-tilfeller-av-omikron-bekreftet-i-norge-1.15757630 (paywall)
