When Hanne Ramberg landed in Oslo after visiting her children in Copenhagen, she received unexpected news. You must go straight to the quarantine hotel. The law professor criticizes the inability to appeal.
There are many who have not understood the complex rules of quarantine stays and are not clear on who must stay in a hotel and who can quarantine at home.
Hanne Ramberg is a Norwegian national who rents an apartment and works in Oslo. Her children live with their father in Copenhagen. He visits them every weekend. She only survived one night at a quarantine hotel in Gardermoen. She immediately returned to Copenhagen.
It is precisely specified who is obliged to undergo hotel quarantine with an indication of exceptions.
There are three important exceptions:
- People who live or own a house in Norway and live at home or in another suitable place residence.
- Those who came to Norway for work or other tasks and have an employer or employer who has provided a suitable place to stay with a private room during the quarantine period.
- Asylum seekers and displaced refugees.
"Resident in Norway" means a person who is registered as resident in Norway or persons who have applied to Norway in the national registry. On entry, it must be possible to prove that you live in Norway. This can be done, for example, by referring to the registration information with the tax administration.
Police are downplaying coronavirus cases and sometimes disregarding recommendations for doing so who is to be quarantined at the hotel. They also do not respond to all reports of a quarantine violation. Employers ordering quarantine violations on employees also appear to go unpunished. Will it change?
