Denmark: The Prime Minister apologized after the camera recorded her not wearing a mask

The Prime Minister of Denmark apologized today, after the amateur lens recorded her not wearing a mask in a store, contrary to the new rules against Covid-19 that came into force.

The video, published by the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, was taken yesterday by a passer-by in front of a shop window in the center of Copenhagen, four days after the resumption of the obligation to use the mask in certain places and on public transport.

“It was just an omission after the new regulations came into force. I realized it because a citizen registered me,” Mete Fredericksen wrote in a social media post.

“I know very well that this can happen to anyone. But ideally not to me. So obviously I’m sorry about that and I want to thank you again for everything we do together to reduce the epidemic,” she said. Denmark.

The incident takes place at a bad time for the prime minister, who is expected to testify in a parliamentary committee on Thursday.

The commission is investigating its decision to kill more than 15 million mink in the country’s farms to avoid the risk of mutation in the virus responsible for Covid-19.

An emergency announcement was made in November 2020, revealing that the order was not legally valid at the time, prompting the Agriculture Minister to resign and Frederiksen to apologize to the breeders. The committee wants to know if the prime minister knew at the time that she was making the decision that no law would allow her to enforce it.
