From today, arrivals from the UK will no longer need to enter into one of Norway's coronavirus quarantine hotels, the government has announced.  

From 5^th July, travelers arriving from the UK will no longer be forced into quarantine hotels due to a significant shakeup to Norway's travel rules.  

Previously, passengers from the UK were required to spend a minimum of three days quarantined in a hotel due to concerns over the spread of the Delta variant, first identified in India, in the UK.  

Despite the spread of the variant still being prevalent in the UK and Norway's health minister admitting that the spread of the delta variant could delay the final step of Norway's plan to lift coronavirus measures, passengers from the UK can now quarantine at home or anywhere else with a private bedroom or bathroom.  

The new rules, which come into effect on 5^th July, mean that those travelling from Britain will be able to quarantine at home or another suitable location for a minimum of seven days. After day seven, they can test themselves out of quarantine by returning a negative PCR test.
