“We want to have more people vaccinated before we do it because we want to make sure that we schools, universities, and colleges can start operating at the “green” level, a level that allows us to start as normally as possible,” Solberg told news bureau NTB.

It is nevertheless the case that kindergartens and schools in areas with a lot of infection should plan ahead for the “yellow” level, the government noted.

“This especially applies to kindergartens and after-school clubs, which open earlier than schools in August.”
