Norwegians with holiday homes in Sweden lose court case
- Norwegians with cottages in Sweden have lost a court case over the right to spend the night there without having to go into a quarantine hotel when they return to Norway.
- “We can stay at our cabins during the day, but they don’t trust us the minute we lay our heads on the pillows to sleep,” says Heidi Furustøl, one of the administrators of the group behind the law suit.
- The rules are also felt in parts of Sweden, where many Norwegians have their cottages.
