RVK Newscast #19: Tougher borders, a minister in trouble and airline bailout

Borders in Iceland have undergone further restrictions after the government decided everyone that come to Iceland have to quarantine for five days and undergo 2 tests within a week. The Minister of Tourism is in trouble after she was accused of ignoring the 2-meter distance when partying with her friends, and the government have promised to offer Icelandair a line of credit, a.k.a. bailout for 16 billion ISK.
