COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Swedish authorities said Thursday that citizens from fellow Nordic countries will have to show a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate when entering Sweden starting next week.

As of Dec. 21, people from Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland no longer will have an exemption to the certificate requirement and must also show their passes to enter Sweden.
