Norway’s prime minister, Erna Solberg, was fined 20,000 kroner ($2,350) for breaking her own government’s Covid restrictions in connection with a party celebrating her 60th birthday.

The circumstances wouldn’t normally trigger a fine, but police suggested the country’s prime minister should be held to a higher standard.
