Oslo snus på hodet under begravelsen: – Litt for mange åpne spørsmål

Oslo Domkirke hosted the burial of King Harald V on Wednesday at 1 PM, causing significant disruption to the city center. Public transport services adjusted their schedules starting from the morning, and employees were advised to plan their commute accordingly. Many residents planned to attend the burial to pay their respects. Companies in the downtown area faced uncertainty about their operations during the closure.

Oslo Handelsstands Forening, representing the city's businesses, expressed their need for more information to ensure a fitting commemoration. They also raised concerns about delivery schedules, stating that there are too many unanswered questions. EY, a consulting firm with offices near the church, encouraged its staff to work from home if possible, as they have a flexible work policy.

Deloitte, another consulting firm, planned to show the burial on their internal screens and hold a minute of silence at 1 PM. Telenor, a telecommunications company, also mentioned they would broadcast the burial on their premises for employees who wish to participate. DNB, a financial institution, maintained its flexibility for employees to attend the event, and they would display the burial on several of their offices.
