The Directorate of Health will be closed on Thursday, 21 March.

A review of death certificates from the Directorate of Health has revealed that there have been 153 deaths in Iceland due to COVID-19 from the beginning of the epidemic until 1 April 2022.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that COVID-19 no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). The status was initially declared according to the International Health Regulations (IHR) at the end of January 2020* and is useful for the WHO and the international community to coordinate actions and respond with a coordinated effort to stop the spread of a disease across borders.

In early April 2022, a study was conducted in the capital area, investigating the spread of COVID-19 among individuals 20-80 years old. The research project was a collaboration between the Chief Epidemiologist and DeCODE genetics.

The Directorate of Public Prosecutions has sent instructions to all police commissioners in Iceland in connection with violations of the rules of the Minister of Health.
