The Norwegian government abruptly announced on Friday it was going to lift the remaining social distancing requirements on Saturday at 4pm, meaning that nightclubs could open and restaurants and bars could fill to capacity. 'It has been 561 days since we introduced the toughest measures in Norway in peacetime,' Prime Minister Erna Solberg told a news conference. 'Now the time has come to return to a normal daily life.' The PM's unexpected unlocking kicked off boozy celebrations the following afternoon which lasted late into Saturday night, with an impromptu street party in Stavanger, a mass brawl in Tønsberg and no less than 50 fights in the capital, Oslo. Neither vaccination status nor a negative test result was required for any venue, leading to blockbusting queues outside nightclubs and restaurants packed with dinner reservations as people returned to their favourite hangouts in droves.
