Moving on: Denmark drops most of its COVID-19 restrictions
Denmark’s government says it will scrap most pandemic restrictions next week, even as neighboring Sweden has extended its own measures for another fortnight. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Wednesday
COPENHAGEN (Reuters)—Denmark aims to scrap all remaining domestic COVID-19 restrictions next week, following on from similar announcements in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands in the past week despite high numbers of Omicron infections in Europe.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has decided to lead the way in managing COVID-19 and getting back to normal, announcing all virus restrictions will be dropped as of Feb. 1.
"It may seem strange that we want to remove restrictions given the high infection rates," the prime minister said. "But fewer people become seriously ill."
