Norway puts off reopening to end of month

Norway is delaying the next major step in unwinding restrictions related to the coronavirus disease pandemic to the end of the month at the earliest, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said on Monday, Reuters reports.

"There is a risk that the Delta variant will cause a fourth wave of infection in the unvaccinated part of the population, among those who have only received one dose or are in vulnerable groups," Solberg said.
