From the midsummer week, fully vaccinated Norwegians have escaped both quarantine and demands for coronation tests when they visited Sweden.
Nevertheless, there was no direct rush to cross-border trade.
Long queues at the border and the fact that just under one in three adults in Norway is fully vaccinated has only meant a small increase in cross-border trade in Värmland.
Thomas Nilsson, head of Maximat in Töckfors does not dare to hope for eased restrictions today.
- Before we know it, we are primarily investing in filling the store with products that have a long shelf life.
In order for Värmland to be classified as a green region, it is required that the figure for infected people is below 50 per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days and that the proportion of positive tests is below four percent, or 75 infected per 100,000 inhabitants when the proportion of positive tests is below one percent .
