On Sunday, the government presented the new measures that will run until January 18. Now they ask everyone to avoid having guests in the house. The advice is to wait 14 days with private visits, but to make exceptions for necessary home services and visits to people who are in the last stage of life.
Single people can visit or visit one or two regular friends or a permanent home. Children in kindergartens and primary schools can receive visits from their own cohort.
In addition, the prohibition of private gatherings of more than five people outside their own homes is introduced.
A national ban on serving alcohol in restaurants and events is also being introduced. The prohibitions will be included in the regulations and if you violate them, you will be fined.

National measures will be regulated by regulations and will require a change in the regulations of the covid-19 regulation. The information appears in a note from the Norwegian Health Directorate to the government.
The Norwegian Directorate of Health also proposes specifying existing national advice and recommendations. The recommendations come as a result of the National Institute of Public Health expressing concern about the growing contagion to society in its risk assessments. They fear that the epidemic will spiral out of control in some municipalities and regions in January, as a result of a further spread of the infection in week 1 and week 2.
