Norwegian salmon prices continued to move higher as concerns grow over tighter anti-COVID-19 measures in the domestic market and Europe.

Norwegian Health Minister Ingvild Kjerkol encouraged renewed emphasis on social distancing, and urged the public to stay home when ill, sending a chilling effect on what were positive signs of the country returning to something approaching normalcy.

In addition, calls for people to stay home in Germany and a 10-day lockdown in Austria are fueling concern about the wider spread of COVID-19 as Europe moves into winter.
