– We played “Russian roulette” and we bet the rules were changed, says 27-year-old Anja Tima.
Just before 9pm Sunday night, she and her husband Benjamin landed with their 11-month-old daughter Bella at Flesland in Bergen. Then they came from Vienna after a stopover in Krakow.
When the government announced an imminent relaxation of entry rules this week, the family turned around and booked plane tickets home to Bergen.
On Sunday afternoon, Justice Minister Monica Mæland confirmed that the government is adjusting entry rules and will allow you to avoid staying in quarantined hotels if you can document a suitable place to live.
– A good number have criticized because they have had a suitable place to stay, and then we make the necessary adjustments now, so that those who can avoid hotels but have good enough places to stay can use them, Mæland told NRK today.
Must be in cabin quarantine
Travelers coming from a red country will, as a general rule, be quarantined for ten days.
Thus, the family began the race to get home as soon as possible to avoid being quarantined on Christmas Eve. They succeeded with a cry of anguish.
– It was a very short time. The last few days have been stressful, so to speak, says Anja Tima.
For practical and financial reasons, it was not relevant that the family checked into a quarantine hotel with a small baby. Instead, they have rented a cabin to a family member, where they will be quarantined from the start.
Initially, the couple had planned to celebrate Christmas with friends in Vienna, where they live and work as usual. But the sudden changes of the government caused that all the agreements had to be canceled.

Controversial regulations
On Christmas Eve, the family has been quarantined for 10 days and then can leave the cabin they have rented and move in with the rest of the family in Bergen.
The rules for quarantined hotels have touched the minds of many. Several have questioned whether the rules have been too strict.
Anja Tima and her family believe that the changes occurred in the last team, but at the same time they are grateful that the government has listened to the objections.
– You have to scream for things to change. I’m also very happy for everyone who has been involved, says the 27-year-old.
After the quarantine, the family can now look forward to their first Christmas celebration in Norway with their little daughter.
– It will be a good Christmas, they both say.
