COPENHAGEN – Denmark on Friday advanced its reopening plan on the back of stable infection rates, allowing indoor serving at restaurants and bars and some football fans to cheer from the stands from April 21, weeks earlier than originally planned.
Denmark avoided a third wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic after imposing wide lockdown measures in December, which slowed the epidemic considerably to between 500-700 daily infections from several thousands in December.
As part of the deal agreed by the government and most of parliament, the limit on outdoor public gatherings will be raised to 50 from 10 on April 21.(Reuters)
