The biggest college in Norway urged students to return from countries with "poorly developed" health systems — such as the United States!
— as experts warned that the American hospital system would be overwhelmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Norway's University of Science and Technology issued an alert to students studying abroad urging them to "return home.".
The statement came as Norway, which has reported more than 1,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, took drastic actions in response to the pandemic.
The country closed its airports to all foreign citizens and will require its citizens to be quarantined for 14 days after returning from overseas.
"Even in this early phase, public health experts say the single-payer, state-run systems are proving themselves relatively robust," The Washington Post reported.
"If things get crazier, you have to think about triaging the use of ICU beds and ventilators," he said. »
