Quarantine hotel requirements will also be introduced in Cyprus and the UK from 19 July. These countries are turning from red to dark red after the recent rise in the number of infections.
In Cyprus, the number of infections is now 1,384 per 100,000 inhabitants, while in the United Kingdom it is 679, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Travelers from orange and red countries and regions must be subject to quarantine when entering Norway, as long as they have not been fully vaccinated or have recently registered with coronary heart disease.
