Denmark today became the first European Union country to lift nearly all of its Covid restrictions despite record numbers of cases, relying on its high vaccination rate to cope with the milder Omicron variant.
People will no longer be required to wear face masks or present COVID-19 health passes indicating proof of vaccination, recovery or a recent negative test result.
Large events will once again be permitted, and nightclubs can pack the dance floor.
COVID-19 is no longer classified as socially critical in Denmark which permitted the government to impose restrictions.
After a first attempt at lifting all its restrictions between September and November, the country is once again ditching its facemasks, Covid passes and limited opening hours for bars and restaurants.
