Denmark no longer categorizes Covid-19 as “Socially Critical Disease”
Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, recently announced that the country has lifted almost all Covid-19 restrictions as Covid-19 is no longer considered as a “Socially Critical Disease”. This means that it will no longer be mandated for people in Denmark to mask up. A vaccine passport is no longer needed to enter indoor venues and there are no more group restriction limits for indoor gatherings.
However, visitors to Denmark are still required to show document(s) proving that they have been vaccinated.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also posted on Facebook saying that Denmark will no longer be overshadowed by Covid-19 and that they are ready to welcome the good old days.
