Norway has announced that the outbreak of the new Corona virus in the country is "under control", but warned that it is still too early to determine whether restrictions to contain it will be lifted.
The Norwegian government said the number of new infections fell to 0.7, compared to 2.5 percent in mid-March, when measures such as banning sports and cultural events and closing all educational institutions began, according to Sky News.
"This means that we have been able to control cases of infection with the emerging coronavirus," Health Minister Bennt Hoy told reporters, but added that it was still necessary to maintain the rules to contain the spread of the virus.
Norway closed pubs, public pools, gyms, beauty parlors and others across the country, and allowed restaurants 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.
