The Norwegian Institute of Public Health plans to study the effect of phyical distancing on the prevalence of respiratory tract infections by recruiting choirs to practice with and without distancing . A pilot study for the winter of 2026 is now being planned.

If your choir is interested in participating, give feedback or have questions about the study, please contact project leader Erle Refsum:
