This article is over a month old and may contain outdated advice from authorities regarding coronary heart disease.

Stay up to date on the NRK overview or on the FHI website.

The latest travel tip means that Cyprus, Latvia, and Liechtenstein will also appear in red, so all of Europe outside of the Nordic region is in red on the infection map.

The new advice applies from evening to Saturday.

Red in Sweden

Also, those who have planned trips to the Swedish regions of Gotland, Värmland, Västernorrland and Norrbotten should think twice. Now they go from yellow to red, so you must be quarantined for 10 days if you visit them.

In recent days, there have been reports from several Swedish cities of an increase in infection among the elderly, reports Swedish Television. In week 39, authorities reported 51 cases in nursing homes, 20 more than the previous week.

Red and yellow countries week 41

All of Europe, except the Nordic countries, is now marked as a red level of infection. Norway appears blank on this map, as it is about traveling to and from Norway. Gray countries do not have enough data on the spread of the infection for Norwegian authorities to assess and from these countries it must be quarantined.

Some of those reacting strongly to the lack of aid are the tourism industry.

– When the whole world is dyed red and the authorities have imposed restrictions on how many can be gathered, you can’t talk about the market, says Ivar Horneland Kristensen, CEO of Virke, the leading trade and service industry organization.

He wants more measurements and help.

– Now we must implement measures that impact, and it is obvious that the compensation scheme must be powerful enough and affect industries that are largely closed until January next year, says Kristensen.

Tightens in Europe

It’s the same picture across Europe, where now the whole world is getting tougher.

Several German states and cities are introducing new measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus after 2,828 new cases of infection were recorded in one day.

In Paris, all bars were ordered closed. President Emanuelle Macron says it is relevant to introduce new and stricter measures in various places in the country.

Madrid and several other Spanish cities are closed. The inhabitants can only leave them in very special cases.

Close pubs and bars

In Italy, the infection is relatively low, but the authorities have issued a decree ordering bandages everywhere in the open. Those who don’t risk a fine of around NOK 10,000.

The Czech government has declared a state of emergency and imposed strict restrictions on the number of people who can attend social gatherings, both indoors and outdoors.

While in the Belgian capital Brussels they have chosen to close bars, clubs and cafes for a month and in Glasgow and Edinburgh, all pubs must close their doors as of tomorrow. In other parts of Scotland, restaurants must finish serving by 6pm

The hospital districts of North Karelia and Vaasa in Finland will also be discouraged in the new travel councils.
