Norway’s last remaining national coronavirus measures, including social distancing, would potentially be dropped at the end of September, Health Minister Bent Høie declared on Tuesday. “As it stands now, everyone should have received two doses at the end of September. The health minister added that vaccine levels would help keep hospitalisations low, even if infections increase. Norway had previously delayed the final stage of its four-step strategy to lift all remaining measures over fears of the spread of the Delta variant, first identified in India, and rising infection rates. Høie did not say what this would mean for Norway’s Covid travel rules and restrictions though.
