Norway lifted COVID-19 restrictions on Saturday, including social distancing measures and mask-wearing in outdoor places.
“We are removing the social distancing measure, it is no longer required to distance a meter away from others,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said in the press conference.
“From now on, we can have social interactions in outdoor places, and events as well as taking public transport, including buses, trains, and ferries,” he added.
The head of government stressed that “the pandemic is not over yet”, calling on Norway citizens who still didn’t get vaccinated as well as those at risk to continue to respect precautionary measures.
Recently, many European countries have dropped most COVID-19 restrictions, including Sweden, Spain, the UK, France, Ireland, and Canada’s Quebec City.
The UK was the first country to drop COVID-19 restrictions on January 19, in a move to coexist with the virus, considering it as the seasonal flu.
