dying, countries in lockdown, hoarding and empty shelves in the shopping centres. But rest assured that there is so so much light in the dark, people are working around the clock to help out their fellow people, and we will get through this. ...".
The High Queen also announced that Uskor has been in a State of Emergency since Monday with the monarch stating: "... On Monday on the advice of the Prime Minister, Jarl Claire Nymoria of Ny-Rogaland I declared a state of emergency of the maximum time allowable under the constitution to deal with this virus emergency. ...".

With regards to the all important Eurovision night and Autumn Storthing session Charlotte, the High Queen had the following to say "... Regarding the Eurovision night and the Autumn session of the Great Thing (Storþing) the Ministry for General Government Affairs and the Ministry for Culture are working to ensure that these can go ahead in a safe and enjoyable manner without causing the potential to cause COVID-19 spread. ...".
