Despite the spread of the Omicron strain in Denmark, the government decided to relax a number of COVID-19 limitations and authorized the reopening of select locations on Sunday.
Cinemas, zoos, museums, and theaters were among the sites where tourists may get re-acquainted. Indoor and outdoor sporting events were similarly restricted to a small number of spectators.
Most of these locations require visitors to wear masks and show documentation that they have been vaccinated, recovered, or recently tested negative for COVID-19.
On January 31, the government of Denmark, a country with a population of 5.8 million people, plans to reduce coronavirus restrictions even more.
Danish health minister Magnus Heunicke told reporters earlier this week that the government was monitoring the pandemic situation carefully and “wouldn’t have supported the reopening if it hadn’t been for a clear approach both from our own and from external experts”.
According to preliminary research, the Omicron form is less likely to induce serious sickness than the preceding delta variation.
Omicron spreads faster than other coronavirus strains, and it has already taken hold in a number of nations. It also infects persons who have been vaccinated or have been infected by previous versions of the virus more easily.
The relaxation of the limitations was based on recommendations by the government’s own health expert advisory committee, the Epidemic Commission, and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said her cabinet “intends to adopt the recommendations” of the panel.
