Norway confirmed on Monday that a new outbreak of the Corona virus in the country was "under control", but warned that it was still too early to determine whether restrictions to contain it would be removed.
The government reported that the number of new injuries fell to 0.7, compared to 2.5 in mid-March when measures such as banning sports and cultural events and closing all educational institutions began.
"This means that we have been able to control cases of infection with the emerging coronavirus," Health Minister Bint Hui told reporters.
But he added that it was still necessary to maintain rules to contain the spread of the virus.
"The measures enabled us to control (the virus) concretely. We have to maintain that," he said.
However, director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health Camilla Stoltenberg said that the exact rate of transmission is still unclear. However, it acknowledged that "there has been a positive development" in the data in recent weeks.
On March 12, the Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, announced what she described as "stronger measures" applied in the country in "peace times".
Pubs, public pools, gyms, beauty shops and more around the country have been closed.
Restaurants were allowed to keep their doors open but with a guarantee of leaving a distance of at least one meter between one person and another.
In addition, the government said that all those returning from trips other than the Nordic countries will be subject to a two-week quarantine.
But it is still allowed to walk in the air or exercise while most stores kept their doors open.
As of Monday, the Scandinavian country had registered 5755 confirmed cases with 19- and 59 deaths.
