Norway cops question PM over Covid-19 rule breach

Norwegian police yesterday said they have begun questioning Prime Minister Erna Solberg over a birthday party she held last month, which could lead to a fine of 10,000 crowns ($1,165) for breaking Covid-19 social distancing rules. The two-term prime minister has apologised for celebrating her 60th birthday with 13 family members at a mountain resort, despite a government ban on events attended by more than 10 people. Solberg has championed strict rules to curb the spread of the coronavirus, resulting in some of Europe's lowest rates of infections and deaths.
