Crossing the National borders
(Updated 12th of November 2020) Where do you come from? Sámi allaskuvla does not recommend travels that is not absolutely necessary, as the infection situation in society is increasing. Norwegian Institute of Public Health has a map on the website that shows which areas in Europe are marked as red or yellow. Red means that you must be in quarantine for 10 days after you arrived Norway, and before you arrive at Diehtosiida. Yellow means that you do not have to be in quarantine if you are healthy.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health prepares a weekly report about which countries and regions satisfy/do not satisfy the criteria for exemption from the quarantine duty when entering Norway. Weekly report and map here.
If you have a business trip that is necessary to complete, and which means that you have to cross national borders, HR departement can give you a confirmation of employment conditions. Order confirmation at personal@samiskhs.no NOTE! Employees are responsible for following current regulations related to quarantine after crossing the national border. It is recommended to check before each trip.What you shall do if you have to cross national borders often? Employees who come from countries or regions marked red must be in quarantine after arrival in Norway, and before entering the workplace. A negative covid-19 test must be presented that is not older than 72 hours at the border crossing, and a covid test must be taken every three days.
