The outbreak of COVID-19 has had an enormous impact on most of society. The most effective measure to prevent the spread has been reducing mobility, which is especially problematic for pastoralists relying on mobility to follow the movement of their livestock. We investigated to what degree Norwegian reindeer husbandry and the reindeer husbandry management system are affected by COVID-19 and government restrictions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. For reindeer herders, our main finding was that the COVID-19 had little to no impact on their daily work. However, impacts varied by domain, with work in corrals, income, and slaughter being negatively affected. For employees in the management system, communication/contact with herders and visits/control of corrals/slaughter have been negatively affected. Employees in the management system were satisfied with how information concerning COVID-19 and prevention measures have been communicated by the central government, while the herders were mainly dissatisfied.

新冠疫情的爆发对社会的大部分领域都产生了巨大影响。预防疫情传播的最有效措施是减少人员流动，这对依赖牲畜迁移而需要频繁流动的牧民来说尤其成问题。我们调查了挪威驯鹿养殖及驯鹿养殖管理系统受新冠疫情及政府为减轻疫情影响而实施的限制措施影响的程度。对于驯鹿牧民，我们的主要发现是新冠疫情对他们的日常工作几乎没有影响。然而，不同领域受到的影响有所不同，圈舍工作、收入和屠宰受到了负面影响。对于管理系统中的员工，与牧民的沟通/联系以及对圈舍/屠宰场的巡查/管控受到了负面影响。管理系统中的员工对中央政府传达新冠疫情信息及预防措施的方式感到满意，而牧民则主要表示不满。
