Oslo, Norway, 23 January 2021: Norwegian authorities has today, with effect from 12:00 CET, decided to temporarily close down retail trade other than food, pharmacies and other important supply functions in the greater Oslo area as a precautionary measure to contribute to limit the contagion of COVID-19. All retail trade, and consequently also the six XXL stores in the area, will be closed until 31 January 2021. The temporarily close down of retail trade imposed by the Norwegian authorities could be expanded to other regions on short notice and consequently more XXL stores could be closed. Norwegian authorities will continuously update on changes in the restrictions, as well as potential new regulations. XXL monitors the situation closely and will initiate actions to reduce costs during this period. XXL will at all times follow the regulations imposed by the authorities.
