OSLO, Aug 12 — Norway is reimposing quarantine on more travellers from foreign countries, the government said today, and reiterated its advice that Norwegians should avoid travelling abroad amid a jump in the number of new coronavirus cases.

Norway diagnosed 357 people with Covid-19 last week, the highest since April, but still well below the record 1,733 cases found in a single week in late March, data from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health showed. — Reuters
