At the beginning of April, the Norwegian government announced that the coronavirus outbreak is to be under control and social functions will be gradually resumed. The governmental structure for crisis preparedness and management is fragmented but some administrative coordinating and support functions work well in Norway. Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) currently provides readable advice and information about the novel coronavirus disease, including a systematic map on the disease evidence and rapid reviews of latest academic articles. Norwegian authorities maintain a high degree of public trust though they have failed to perform effective public communication at times. Citizens seem to make a cool-headed decision based on experts’ intellectual humility and personal emotion in their delivery of information. The cool-headedness would be a key to face and keep the new normal ‘strangeness’ in the midst of and after the coronavirus crisis.
