In Denmark, faces will soon be fully visible again at train stations, in classrooms, in libraries, when shopping and in restaurants. Because: As of Monday, the mask requirement will be completely lifted in these places, as the Danish government announced on Thursday.
The only exception is in public transport. Anyone standing on the bus or train is still obliged to wear a mask. But if you have a seat, the mask can be removed, as the Danish newspaper “bt.dk” reports. From September 1, the mask requirement is expected to be lifted completely, writes the newspaper “Nordschleswiger”.
Offensive test strategy
In Denmark’s schools and universities, in addition to the mask requirement, all other measures, such as the one, are already being lifted «Lucerne newspaper» writes.
Denmark’s Health Minister Magnus Heunicke is optimistic: “We are in a fantastic position.” The situation is under control. With Denmark’s offensive test strategy, chains of infection would also be discovered quickly. The Scandinavian country tests around ten times as much as Switzerland.
Mask requirement introduced late
Unvaccinated people are still required to test if they want to go to a restaurant, zoo, sports hall or hairdresser. Danes who have already received the spades only need to present their corona passport.
The Danish government had waited a comparatively long time before the introduction of the mask requirement. In August, the obligation to wear public transport was introduced for the first time. It was not until October that it was expanded to include supermarkets and restaurants, among other things. (ouch)
