Indeed.
Orienteering was the only sport that never had to close down completely
this spring, in fact we had a huge growth in recreational orienteers ("Tur-orientering") this spring/summer.
Individual orienteering is of course the "most socially distanced" sport ever, it even says so in the rule book, i.e. you cannot follow anyone
else within sight distance. :-)

It's open here but I haven't gone.-a Too many restrictions (need to
reserve for a particular 30 minute slot), no electronic tags at
checkpoints (no idea why), so it's honor system and/or record your track.

Hard to avoid following someone on a trail who is slower than you are - you'll be following for some portion of time ...

The first race I organized back in April used no punching, just flags
(which you should pass very close to without touching), and then the
results were based on either personally reported times ("honor system"),
or for most of the participants, by uploading their track log to
LiveLox: https://www.livelox.com/Events/Show/47104/OBIK-P1
People were allowed to start at any time within a 2-week period, so very rarely more than one or two runners in the forest at the same time.
Passing people is of course OK. :-)

In Norwegian terrain you would spend very little time running on paths anyway, and different courses would share zero to very few legs.
