Latest Corona-related news in brief:
June 4, 2021
NORWAY’S COMPLICATED AND EVER-CHANGING CORONA RULES were altered once again on Friday, resulting in a bit more relaxation of quarantine requirements upon entry. Those who are fully vaccinated or been infected with Covid-19 earlier can now leave quarantine after three days if they test negative to the virus. A few more countries were added to the list of those from which Norwegians can avoid otherwise mandatory hotel quarantine.
Justice Minister Monica Mæland admitted once again that Norway’s rules can cause great confusion and frustration, also among border patrol personnel. More than 100 police officers will thus be added to border control stations to reduce long lines and allow more time for daily briefings on rule changes.

Government halts expat deportations
May 13, 2021
The Norwegian government, under pressure from EU authorities and legal experts, is reversing controversial new rules that have restricted entry of people arriving from Great Britain and prevented thousands of expatriates who’ve been living and working in Norway from re-entering the country. The rules have caused distress and financial hardship for at least 2,100 citizens from 38 countries who’ve already been turned away at the border and sent back to their home countries, even though they have jobs and homes in Norway.
Justice Minister Monica Mæland has backed down and will be reversing onerous entry rules that have resulted in traumatic deportations of thousands of expatriates in Norway, many of whom are EU citizens. The rules have been harshly criticized, with many legal experts claiming they violate Norway’s trade agreement with the EU. PHOTO: Regjeringen.no
