Norway is extending the ban on all events with more than 500 participants until Sept 1, reported AP.
Norwegian Culture Minister Abid Raja said during a press conference “there is now a ban on major sporting events, festivals and concerts until 15 June. That ban is now extended until September 1.”
He says the decision wasn’t easy for the Norwegian government to make but stressed “we cannot have big events (in Norway) that can contribute to more infections that will affect life and health.”
Norway has reported 201 coronavirus deaths and 7,493 confirmed cases.
