Quarantine on arrival in Norway
If you're arriving from a country or an area without sufficiently low transmission, you must go into quarantine for 10 days from the day you arrive in Norway. This applies to the countries listed here.
When going into quarantine, you must travel straight to your planned accommodation. Avoid close contact with others until you are at your accommodation. The quarantine must be carried out continuously in one place during the first 10 days of your stay in Norway. For more quarantine details see here.
Testing
If you get symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, sore throat or if you feel sick you must call the Kristiansand Coronavirus hotline (+47) 948 09 041 in order to be tested.
