Norway to ease some COVID-19 restrictions, PM says

OSLO: Norway will start to unwind some restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and allow more people to gather in private homes and at events from Friday, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said on Tuesday.

The easing of rules at the national level will not affect those in areas where infection rate is the highest, such as in the capital region, she said. "The infection numbers are now down. Hospitalisations are fewer. The measures look to have had an effect," Solberg told a news conference.
