⚠️ POLAND – SWEDEN FERRY? NO QUARANTINE IN NORWAY – NEW INTERPRETATION ⚠️
Norway has defined rules in which there was a quite clear opinion that the Poland-Sweden ferry causes quarantine as the use of public transport in the red country. For many of you it was absurd and fortunately today HelseNorge issued a new interpretation after consulting lawyers.
⚠️ TRAVEL TO POLAND – NORWAY WITH A FERRY ON THE WAY
One of the readers asked a question to HelseNorge, the institution responsible for interpreting the regulations. The interpretation she received is as follows:
...
Viser til understående svar fra oss om din reise fra Polen til Norge.
Vi har fått oppdatert informasjon fra våre jurister om karantenebestemmelsene for å kjøre bil fra Polen, med ferge til Sverige, for så å kjøre via Sverige til Norge med privatbil.
Oppdateringen lyder som følger:
How to get there transport i et land med karanteneplikt. De vil da få unntak etter § 6e [most likely it means 6a and it's a typo] og faller ikke under karanteneplikten ved ankomst Norge.
Vi beklager at dere har fått oppgitt feil informasjon tidligere.
...
Which means, loosely translated, that people who travel from the green country by car and take a ferry from it to the red country and then travel by car, travel safely. This means they are not subject to quarantine and you can enter Norway as a tourist.
⚠️ SO HOW CAN YOU REACH NORWAY WITHOUT QUARANTINE/TOURIST?
This means that you can reach Norway safely via the following routes:
1. Direct flight (no stopovers in red areas)
2. By road by road
3. By car by land with ferries leaving from Poland
Still, the interpretation does not change in the case of other methods, i.e. the journey will be dangerous when:
1. We will take the Denmark/Germany-Norway ferry (the ferry from the Red State is considered dangerous).
2. We will use public transport other than those specified
3. We will spend the night in the red area (of course, this is not an isolated overnight stay in your own car)
⚠️ ONLY THE INTERPRETATION HAS CHANGED, NOT THE REGULATIONS
Which means that, in theory, if you were quarantined or not allowed into Norway because of such a ferry ride, you are entitled to compensation.
