No more masks on Denmark. The Ministry of Transport announced today the lifting of the obligation to use mask on public transport, the only place where it was still required, as a consequence of the relaxation of social distance rules.
“We are now in a situation (…) where a large part of the population has been vaccinated, and we are returning to a more normal daily life. “This means we can say goodbye to masks on buses, trains and the subway,” said Transport Minister Benny Engelbrecht, according to a statement.
The obligation, which entered into force on 22 August 2020, will be abolished from tomorrow, Saturday, 14 August. The measure was originally scheduled to be lifted on September 1st.
On Wednesday, the health authorities of the Nordic country of 5.8 million people, which records about a thousand new infections a day, relaxed the recommendations of social distance, due to the significant vaccination coverage (over 60% of the population).
“We now have good control of the infection throughout society, because many people have accepted the offer of vaccination. “As a result, we can tailor precautionary recommendations so that citizens can maintain a normal daily routine while adhering to the principle of prevention,” said Helene Blistent Probst, deputy director of the National Health Service.
The use of the mask, however, remains in force in the country’s airplanes and airports, where international aviation rules apply.
