QUARANTINE HOTEL (NORWAY): Upon arrival at passport control, there is a selection: of good and bad ones. The bad are unvaccinated or vaccinated, but not in Norway. If suddenly you’ve been sick with coronavirus in the last six months, but not in Norway, you’re also bad. The bad should follow this way to the quarantine hotel and unless they are migrants at their own expense, of course.

After passing passport control, the worst nightmare begins. You’re just in line to get your luggage, test and bus to the hotel. We stood in line for eight hours. I stood, and the children sat, laid and stood and took out all the horror of breeding.

We weren’t allowed to eat, gave out 0.5 water bottles and didn’t let them go to the bathroom. Until I raised my voice and said this is not a democratic country and everything that is happening is constant hypocrisy, nothing has moved and happened.

My eldest daughter approached the police officer, asked to get out of line to the bathroom, she was denied. In order to pee, she waited in line for two hours. Then we found a convoy, who under close surveillance we were taken to the bathroom and waited for on the way out.

The location of our luggage remained unknown. We spent about an hour searching for it whilst under constant surveillance. After recovering our luggage, we waited in line for the result of the test to be ready in 10 minutes and loaded on the bus. Arrived at the hotel I refused to admit the children, as by law they have the right to stay in quarantine at home. The hotel person was extremely puzzled by my decision and tried to say that children are getting the hotel with a 50 % discount. My look was enough and my husband took the kids home, where they all three sat in quarantine. I’m staying at the hotel. Not for three days, according to the law, but for 4. Rules, we are told.

Flew to Oslo at 12-40, settled in to a hotel at 21-15. The next day I went down, registered with a representative of the commune. The representative spoke very bad English. On the third day of lunch, I passed the test. The test result was promised a day later. Strange that the test results were ready within 10 minutes at the airport.

On the fourth day, I proved negative. At reception, they extended the hotel check-up for another two days, as the test results can be waited up to 72 hours, and without negative results, you will not be released.

I agreed to sit still, but not at my own expense, as I ran out of money. The hotel worker just couldn’t imagine how it was: ran out of money. To the question: ‘when will you get money?’ I answered ‘when I get to work.’

I don’t break any Norwegian law and I’m ready to be in the hotel for two more days, but at their expense, especially since food is fine with me and I do neither cook nor do dishes. At the reception, I was given the lab number where our tests were sent. Where I started calling. I reached the lab. The lab started talking about 72 hours before the test result and that I should be in the hotel all along.
