Norway COVID-19 infections must decline before easing restrictions, PM says

Norway's COVID-19 infection rates and hospitalisations must decline before the government will begin to unwind restrictions on social interaction, Prime Minister Erna Solberg told parliament on Wednesday.

Solberg presented a four-step plan for easing Norway's restrictions, and said the the first three steps could be completed by the end of June unless new setbacks emerge.

She did not say how long the fourth phase, which will still contain some restrictions, is estimated to last.
