. The borders are practically closed
This was stated by Prime Minister Erna Solberg at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon on January 27.01.2021, XNUMX.
"In practice, this means that the border is closed to anyone who does not live in Norway," he says. This means that many migrant workers are unable to enter the country.
At the same time, exceptions apply to socially critical personnel, transport workers, medical personnel and people who are supposed to spend time with children.
- when we implemented the measures in early January, we believed that we were on the right track to the marathon and that we saw its end. But it turns out that in the end there could be very difficult restrictions that we all have to go through to make sure that as many Norwegians as possible cross the finish line, says Solberg.
The changes will take effect at midnight on the night before Friday, January 29, 2021.
