Are you more enthusiastic about Nordic flair on holiday than sunny beaches?

Then you should be happy that the last Nordic country has overturned its corona rules.

In Finland, the last corona restrictions were lifted on Tuesday.

From March 1st,

there will no longer be any restrictions in restaurants in terms of

serving, opening hours, number of customers and seats.

However, the authorities still recommend that Finns wear a mask on public transport, for example.

But that is not mandatory.

This means that only recommendations for dealing with the corona pandemic apply in all Nordic countries domestically.

Denmark

had already lifted practically all corona measures at the beginning of February and thus heralded the so-called “Freedom Day”*.

Shortly thereafter,

Sweden

also announced the end of all restrictions: For example, 3G proof is no longer required when entering the country, and there are no longer limited opening hours or distance rules for restaurants and pubs.

Masks are no longer required to be worn in Sweden, even on crowded public transport.

Norway

also

followed suit a short time later with the lifting of almost all measures - the mask requirement and the distance rules are now history.

Iceland

followed about a week ago.

Both the domestic measures and the restrictions on entry were lifted on February 25, as the Icelandic government previously announced in the capital Reykjavik.

"We're getting our normal life back," said Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir.

However, those showing symptoms are still asked to stay at home.

Wearing a mouth and nose protector when in contact with risk groups is also recommended.
