Norway, Russia border closed for normal traffic until at least August 20
ReplyDeleteNorway’s closed borders to foreign nationals will apply until August 20th, but a special law certainly might keep non-Nordic borders closed until January 1, 2021.
There is almost no traffic over the land border after both Russian and Norwegian officials in March decided to create strict entry and exit control following the Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak. Only diplomats, truck-drivers, and a few crew members on fishing vessels are exempted from the strict travel ban.
