In an interview with VG, Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Health Minister Bent Høie say. The time has come for us to cuddle, dance and live a perfectly normal life during the next month.
This means abolishing all requirements for distance and the use of masks.
- In the current situation, everyone will receive two doses at the end of September. Then it will be possible to live normally, without the one-meter rule and other national restrictions, says Høie in the newspaper.
When the government decided on July 28 to postpone the transition to the fourth stage, Erna Solberg said in an interview with TV 2 that reopening is likely to continue in two weeks.
Some will still die
Reopening can occur despite the increase in the number of infections.
Solberg and Høie now say vaccination stops the infection from spreading compared to earlier waves.
- Vaccinations are the most important. Although the infection has risen sharply in recent weeks. It's not the reason that we have introduced new national measures precisely because vaccination and the burden on health care now mean more than spreading infections, says Høie.
The health minister goes on to say that society will have to live with the virus for a long time.
- We cannot completely eliminate the risk, as we cannot with other diseases. This means that some will also get seriously ill and die from Covid-19 after vaccination is completed and society re-opens.

Erna Solberg and Bent Høie say we can live a normal life at the end of September .. Vaccine or infection
Norway reported 490 new cases of infection on Monday.
On Tuesday, the municipality of Bergen reported 103 new cases of infection in the last 24 hours.
Høie says he would have put in place severe restrictions if these infection rates had happened last year.
- We are in a situation where people are either vaccinated or already sick.
Erna Solberg says that, on the other hand, the introduction of a national crown passport will not matter.
– In other countries, passports are used as bait for people, who have be vaccinated. We don't need this in Norway because most people are positive about vaccinations, says Solberg.
