(Bloomberg) -- Norway has uncovered its first three suspected cases of the new omicron virus variant, TV2 reported, citing a municipal chief medical officer.

The development comes as Norway tightened rules on isolation for people testing positive for Covid-19 and advised people return to using face masks again on public transport and in shops to prevent the spread of the virus.
