Norwegians worship the sun when it is present and they drink more milk as adults than in other non-Nordic countries. The milk is vitamin D supplemented. Sunbeds have become unpopular recently (3 years ago there were 3 tanning salons in walking distance of me now there are none).
The reasons that the outbreak has been minimal so far here are more complex though. Norwegians natually socially distance. The joke goes, "I am glad the lockdown is over and we can go back to the usual 5 meters - having to stand 1 meter from people was too close". Basically avoiding people for a few weeks was quite easy for many Norwegians. Younger ones tend to live in one bed flats rather than flat shares. Young people don't visit their parents and grandparents as much as they probably should. Also people buy into society and trust their government here. The PM announced a crisis and most people followed the guidelines for several weeks. Compliance dropped after a few weeks but it was clearly sufficient to break the infection chains.
