Norway is relaxing some national measures to limit the spread of Covid-19, but urged local authorities to tighten restrictions in areas where contagion rates are high.
The decision, which takes effect Oct. 12, includes fewer restrictions for sporting activities for adults. It also means a ban on serving alcohol after midnight will be lifted.
