Closed in Norway, open in Sweden

All SATS gyms in Sweden closed for two weeks on 12 March to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The company reopened on 26 March, however. 

"While we were closed, we followed developments closely and stayed in touch with the Swedish Public Health Agency to make sure the authorities would support any reopening. That is why we could open our doors once more on 26 March as planned," SATS write on their website.

In Norway (above) SATS have followed official rules and will stay closed until 14 April.
