Information from NIF:
On Wednesday (April 7th), Prime Minister Erna Solberg presented a reopening plan for Norway. The plan consists of four phases, detailing which measures will be eased at each stage. The first phase will involve reversing all or part of the strict national measures implemented before Easter. Children and youth will be prioritized first, followed by workplaces and businesses.
“The pace of reopening must be based on data, not dates,” said Solberg. Therefore, the reopening plan is not scheduled according to specific dates, but the Prime Minister indicated that phase three could be completed by the end of June. Before moving from one phase to another, assessments will be made based on three checkpoints, according to the government:
“We are pleased that children and youth are prioritized in the government's reopening plan, and that they can resume normal training and competition activities as soon as possible, first locally, then regionally. At the same time, for the first time, amateur athletes over 20 years old are included in a reopening plan for sports. This is positive. The past year has been painful for our adult amateur athletes, but now we finally see a small light at the end of the tunnel,” says Sports President Berit Kjøll, adding:
“For elite sports, it is now crucial that our top athletes can get back to training and competitions as soon as possible to ensure equal competitive conditions in preparation for upcoming international championships and competitions. Next week, the government will assess whether to allow outdoor training matches in leagues where the majority of athletes are professionals. The following easing measures will apply to sports at each phase:
