Meanwhile in France the fine starts at €38 and can go as high as €135. Seems incredibly low, though if someone is convinced that they want to break the rules then a larger fine isn’t likely to persuade them not to do so.
Cottages can be hard to reach, especially in winter. Health personell can't prioritize thus. Also, there are entire cottage villages, adding 20000-30000 to small town populations. The ban is for preventing future unnecessary crisis that could weaken health coverage.
More like cabins in the wild than country cottages, some of them not accessible by car. Calling them country cottages makes them seem like they’re houses, but they’re more like cabins, often without water and electricity, because they’re not near population centres, so the infrastructure doesn’t exist. The entire point of a Norwegian cabin is to escape the urban life for a little while and go back to basics.
In Australia, the fines are as high as 19k for breaking self isolation. We have the government door knocking and also calling daily to those that have tested positive.
