Six are hospitalized with omikron in Denmark. Well, new, strong initiatives are coming.
Denmark introduces new initiatives. Students get an early Christmas break. A bar stop will also be introduced at midnight. The goal is to curb coronary heart disease.
Schools in Denmark must be closed from 15 December to 5 January. This is stated by Minister of Education Pernille Rosenkranz-Theil.
Nightclubs must close at midnight. This is stated by Minister of Trade and Industry Simon Kollerup. It will also not be allowed to sell alcohol after midnight.
In addition, companies are encouraged to cancel Christmas dinners. The reason is the high infection rates. This is what Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says. The Danish government held a press conference on Wednesday.
It will be banned with concerts of more than 50 standing guests. This is what Minister of Culture Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen says.
– That this only applies to concert halls is because you can walk around a museum without getting close to each other. Concerts have a different character, she says.
Six people have been admitted to hospital with omikron in Denmark. The measures come into force on Friday. The hope is to be able to avoid a new shutdown.
Mouthpieces are already mandatory on public transport and in shops. There is also a requirement to show corona pass at individual events.
