Denmark will no longer classify Covid-19 as a “socially critical disease” and has removed almost all of their restrictions.
They will no longer be required to wear masks indoors, be restricted to a number of persons for social gatherings, stop late-night sale of alcohol and using of a “Covid pass” to prove their vaccination.
However, places such as hospitals and nursing homes are still advised to keep some of the restrictions like continuing to wear face masks.
At the moment, only visitors to the country will be required to show their proof of vaccinations.
No longer socially critical
Denmark’s Minister of Health Magnus Heunicke said that they will no longer classify the virus as a “socially critical disease” from 1 February onwards.
Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, said that they were ready to “step out of the shadows of the coronavirus” and welcome the life they knew before the pandemic.
Despite Denmark’s increasing infection numbers, hospitalisation rates have not increased.
