The foreign national team profiles are speeding home on scheduled flights, but risk fines if they break quarantine rules by playing a soccer game next weekend.
Write lawyer John-Christian Elden’s profile to VG.
– If they are in quarantine and have requested to fly home to be quarantined there, and have been granted with that condition, they may be penalized with prison if when the request was submitted they did not intend to be quarantined, but play , writes The fire of SMS.
Several country profiles, including Mohamed Elyounoussi, Erling Braut Haaland, Martin Ødegaard (who has had a crown) and Kristoffer Ajer, are on their way to their respective home countries to return to quarantine.
Health and Care Services Minister Bent Høie tells VG that he hopes the players will carry out the remaining part of the quarantine at home.
– I cannot impose such a quarantine requirement on people living abroad, but like I said yesterday, there is a reason these players are quarantined infected. We must all take responsibility for ensuring that the spread of infection is prevented, Høie tells VG.
German Kicker has received confirmation from the sporting directors of RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund that Alexander Sørloth and Erling Braut Haaland are expected to return to Germany shortly. According to Markus Krösche at RB Leipzig, there will be no quarantine order from the Norwegian authorities, and after returning to Leipzig, Sørloth must test negative on two corona tests before he can participate in the team’s training again.

Exceptions for the return trip
The reason they have been sent home from the national team is that Omar Elabdellaoui was infected with the coronavirus on Friday. According to the competition director, Nils Fisketjønn, from the Norwegian Football Association (NFF), all players who have been to the meeting are in quarantine until 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 22.
According to the crown regulations of the Norwegian health authorities, it is only possible to grant exemptions from quarantine if it concerns the danger to life and health, or if they must travel to a new place to remain in quarantine. Norwegian players travel home by regular public transport (regular flights).
– When the individual player now travels home on a regularly scheduled flight, I would like to point out that it is the municipal doctor who must assess whether this can be done in a robust way for infection control. There are no evaluations that I or the Ministry of Health and Care Services take or have done, says Høie.
In any case, the purpose of such trips is significantly different from yesterday’s travel arrangements. I hope that players who now possibly get permission to go home will do so in a prudent and infection-responsible manner, among other things, by keeping a good distance from others, says the Minister of Health.

NFF has contacted players from national emergency teams
Infection control doctor Tore Steen confirms to VG that it is he who has made the decision to let the players go home on Sunday. This is also in line with the regulations covid-19 §5e second paragraph which states the following:
“Persons in quarantine for infection may exceptionally use public transport to reach a suitable quarantine site after a special assessment by the municipal doctor.”
– The director of infection control has considered a specific request for a return trip for quarantined players, based on an individual assessment of each individual player from the national team doctor at NFF. This request was granted in accordance with the exemption provision in the covid-19 regulations.
The condition to be able to travel home to be quarantined is that they have no symptoms, that they wear masks in public transport and go directly to quarantine when they get home, he tells VG.
On Wednesday, Norway would face Israel in a private international match, but it was canceled after an Israeli player tested positive:
Steen says the following about the Oslo municipality’s possible sanction options:
– It will be hypothetical and we may have to go back to that, he says, adding that he estimates that they will follow up on what they have now received permission.
– We hope that the conditions that were the basis for consent to leave will be followed, Steen tells VG.
University of Bergen law professor Hans Fredrik Marthinussen believes it is “insane” that national team players are allowed to fly on scheduled flights after having been in close contact with an infected person.
“Why do they get special treatment that no one else has received or will receive? Get scheduled flights after close contact? Completely indefensible,” he writes on the microblogging service Twitter.
