Norway and Corona
Norway - and thus Svalbard - is less affected by Covid-19.
However, the country classified Germany as a risk area at the end of August (here is a list) and stipulates a ten-day quarantine for travelers from Germany.
The Federal Foreign Office therefore advises against unnecessary tourist trips to Norway.
