Certain travellers to Norway, including those vaccinated in the country will no longer have to spend time in quarantine hotels after the government announced changes to the tight rules on Wednesday.
Anyone who has received their first coronavirus jab in Norway, at least three weeks before their arrival, and those who have recovered from Covid-19 in the country in the last six months will not be forced into quarantine hotels when they arrive in Norway.
These travellers will still have to spend time in quarantine, but they can do it at their home address or the address they provide Norwegian authorities.

Several countries, including the UK and Denmark, whose prime minister earlier ventured that the population will need to be vaccinated “over and over”, are currently considering administering booster shots to the population.
The National Institute of Public Health (FHI) is currently working on identifying risk groups that could need so-called vaccine boosters, that is, extra doses of vaccine against COVID-19.
While two vaccine doses are considered enough for the healthy and strong, a third dose can increase protection and provide long-lasting immunity for frail people belonging to various risk groups, the newspaper Verdens Gang reported.
