Norway's government said Monday it considered the coronavirus outbreak to be "under control" in the country. It said the reproduction rate of the disease -- the number of new people infected by each patient with the virus -- had fallen to 0.7. That was down from 2.5 when containment measures such as closing public spaces and banning sports and cultural events were introduced in mid-March. "This means that we have brought the coronavirus infection under control," Health Minister Bent Hoie told reporters. phy/jll/jv
