The entire country of Norway is shutting down
"In addition to kindergartens, child care facilities, schools, and universities closing nationwide, and a ban on both professional and amateur sports — measures that have been taken only regionally so far in the U.S. — the entire country of Norway is also requiring all hairdressers, massage clinics, gyms, and tattoo parlors to close, https://www.lifeinnorway.net/norway-is-closed-coronavirus/ and
based off the announcement on NRK.
Cultural events are also banned, with museums, pools, and libraries additionally closing. While grocery stores will remain open, restaurants, bars, pubs, and nightclubs are required to close if they can't guarantee a three-foot distance between patrons."
and
"Additionally, everyone entering Norway from anywhere other than another Nordic country will be required to be home-quarantined, regardless of symptoms...."

Norway will need to clarify if they'll allow incoming pax to board OSL-bound flights. The linked article only mentions the quarantine requirement, not whether Norway is changing its entry or transit rules.

Correct. Same day transit, not leaving the airport is OK. Overnight transit, either to a domestic destination or to another foreign destination means having to book and pay a night at a designated quarantine hotel.

Does someone know what the status is this summer of a non-resident Norwegian national bringing in his/her American spouse?
Also, I would like to go to Svalbard with SAS on United miles and use the excursionist flight on the local return to CPH (such as Apr 1 SFO-CPH-OSL-TOS-LYR Apr 27 LYR-OSL-CPH May 1 CPH-SFO). Hopefully Svalbard won't be as restrictive in the summer next year as during the pandemic so far.

Nonetheless, everyone is still required to test at the border before entering Norway.
In line with the recommendations from the National Institute of Health and the Norwegian Directorate of Health, the decision on the quarantine exemption will enter into force from Friday, June 11, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.”
