THE Denmark, which has been in a state of partial lockdown for three months, plans to open fully when citizens over the age of 50 have been vaccinated – in theory at the end of May – with the introduction of a “corona pass“, The government announced.
Prime Minister Mete Frederiksen presented a plan to gradually open secondary education, shops, restaurants, bars, libraries, museums, cinemas gradually over two months.
“With some exceptions, Danish society will be able to open up when all those over the age of 50 have been vaccinated, that is, at the end of May,” according to the health authorities’ timetable, the prime minister said.
From April 6, high school students will attend classes with physical attendance one week in two, while elementary schools opened last month.
In Denmark, with a population of 5.8 million, the number of cases is now four times lower than in December, when the trend was upward in many European countries.
“We will proceed prudently. “We can be more open now in Denmark, unlike many other countries where the third wave is a reality,” said Mete Frederiksen.
Denmark is one of the most ardent countries in favor of the introduction of the “passport” that will open the doors of social life. This “passport” will remain in use until the vaccination of the entire population, which is expected to take place at the end of August.
In the form of a mobile application, the “corona pass” certifies a negative test of 72 hours or less, vaccination or recovery from Covid-19. “Corona pass” in the form of a document is already distributed to vaccinated Danes.
From April 6, the “corona pass” will allow access to the hair salon, outside the coffee shops when they open on April 21, restaurants that will open on May 6, before the general opening scheduled for May 21.
The government has not given clear answers for major sporting events and cultural events, as Denmark will host Euro matches at the end of June and is expected to announce its decisions to return the crowd to the stadiums in mid-April.
In Denmark, 5.4% of the population has been fully vaccinated and 10.9% have received the first dose. The use of the AstraZeneca vaccine remains suspended pending a re-evaluation of its side effects, leading to a delay in the vaccination campaign.
