King Harald and Queen Sonja are in-home quarantine to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The Royal Court of Norway issued another statement on Thursday, 12 March 2020, following their announcement that the Royal Family have cancelled official engagements until Easter.

This is in accordance with the Government’s new measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
