Nobel Prizes 2021: The Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation said uncertainty about the course of the pandemic and international travel possibilities is the reason why the laureates will receive their medals and diplomas in their home countries.
The foundation that organises the Nobel Prizes said Thursday that for the second year in a row the winners in science and literature would receive their awards in their home countries, citing the COVID-19 pandemic.
The foundation added that a decision on the Peace Prize, which is traditionally awarded in Norway, had not been made yet.
The Nobel Committee "is still keeping open the possibility of welcoming the year's Nobel Peace Prize laureate(s) to Oslo," it said.
It is to announce the format of the Oslo ceremony by mid-October.
