Book your appointment online
You need electronic ID to log in. You may also call the doctor's office: (+47) 41 70 24 00.
You do not need to have a residential address in Indre Fosen to be tested. Everyone who stays in the municipality, e.g. tourists, can contact the doctor's office for testing.
Testing is carried out at the airway clinic at Rissa doctor's office, Årnsetveien 35, Rissa. Testing takes place mainly on weekdays during the doctor's office's opening hours. You have to make an appointment before you show up for testing.
Summer opening hours: From week 27 (5 July), the Respiratory Clinic will be open for corona testing only three days a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In the event of a corona outbreak in Indre Fosen, we will increase the opening hours as needed. In case of symptoms or questions or tests before travelleing, please call the doctor's office on +47 41 70 24 00 which determines whether a test must be taken on the same day or if it can wait until the next day.
When you have an appointment to take a coronal test, it is important that you stay in your car until you are called on your mobile. Once you have been called, enter the door of the respiratory clinic located at the transverse end of the building. Do not enter the reception or waiting room at the doctor's office when taking a coronal test.
You will get the test results within a few days. If you have a profile on helsenorge.no, you may check the results yourself. If not, you have to contact the doctor's office +47 41 70 24 00. In case of a positive result, you will be contacted by local health service.
National regulations and advice translated
In addition to these national measures, Indre Fosen kommune recommend that you:
- Avoid travel to and visits from areas with high infection.
- If you are going to have a visit from an area with a high infection, the visitor must follow the rules that apply in their municipality, if they are stricter than the measures in Indre Fosen.
- Think about how many you are in contact with during a week. Although it now opens up for larger events and more activity, the sum of people you meet over a period of time will have a major impact on the extent of an outbreak if it turns out that you are unlucky enough to be infected with coronavirus.
- Take a test if in doubt. Have a low threshold for ordering a coronary test if you are ill or suspect that you may be exposed to infection. Read more about testing and order here.

Corona vaccine
About the vaccine
General vaccine information several languages
The vaccine is free of charge and we will not ask you for bank details or payment when we contact you offering vaccination.
There are various companies that develop the corona vaccine. At the moment (July 2021), Indre Fosen provide the vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech: https://www.fhi.no/contentassets/84522abb591f4bc0b6abe09baf4234e0/vedlegg/engelsk-english_vaksine_biontech-og-pfizer.pdf
When will you be offered the vaccine?
There is not enough vaccine for everyone at the same time. Therefore, we offer vaccines to Indre Fosen residents in an order decided by the government. The order is primarily based on age. But health and occupation are also relevant. We offer vaccine to residents and people from other countries who work in Indre Fosen, but not tourists. You can see the national priority list on this website: https://www.fhi.no/en/id/vaccines/coronavirus-immunisation-programme/who-will-get-coronavirus-vaccine-first/
In Indre Fosen, we do not know for sure when we can offer vaccines to whom. But we have made an overview of what we believe based on what we know.

When will you receive the vaccine?
Unfortunately, we do not have a definite answer as to when Indre Fosen can offer corona vaccine to whom. It all depends on how big the deliveries are from week to week. The overview below is therefore only an estimate, not a guarantee. Foreign workers in Indre Fosen may also take the vaccine here according to the age/risk groups.
