Also, as soon as the contagion situation requires it, we will make a new assessment of the possibility of opening for events with up to 600 people present, also indoors, says Raja.
Raymond’s last sting
Training in grassroots sports
Starting October 12, it will be open to normal training in parts of the base sport for adults 20 and older. In municipalities and regions with increased infection or local outbreaks, opening should be considered and followed by local measures.

Municipalities have until October 12 to prepare and assess the situation at the local level. In municipalities with increased infection and local outbreaks, it may be considered whether the reopening of grassroots sports and adult contact training should be postponed until the infection is under control.
– Municipalities should keep track of local outbreaks so that they do not turn into regional and national outbreaks, Health Minister Bent Høie (H) said during Wednesday’s press conference.me.
Fixed seats
As of October 12, it will also be sufficient that those who sit in fixed seats have a free seat between them in the same row of seats. Today, at least one meter from shoulder to shoulder must be maintained, which in practice requires two seats.
– People in the same household should be able to sit together. It is not possible for people to sit in more than half of the fixed seats, unless one meter of distance can be maintained between the rows of seats, thus ensuring one meter of distance between people who are not from the same household.

– It is not a launch
– This is not a statement, but a new phase in our strategy to maintain control, emphasized the Prime Minister at the press conference.
Solberg also asked people who experience stricter local infection control measures than national ones to be motivated by the fact that restrictions are now being relaxed.
– For those of you who live in areas with higher contagion, and who have yet to wait for the relief that we will make towards the end of next week, I hope this is an extra motivation to join the infection control measures that have been implemented by the local authorities said. Solberg.
He called on Norwegians tired of measures in areas with an increase in infections to follow infection control advice.
