Requirements for corona test and ten-day quarantine. This applies to virtually everyone who wants to travel into Denmark, the Danish Ministry of Transport announces.
The rules apply from Sunday and at least until February. The reason is that the country wants to limit the spread of the new and more contagious mutations of the coronavirus. The mutations are believed to account for 80 percent of all new cases of infection in March.
“Therefore, it is important that we do what we can to keep the infection, and in particular new mutations, outside Denmark,” said Minister of Health Magnus Heunicke (S) in a press release sent out early on Saturday.
The new rules apply at all borders, but exceptions are made for those who live near the border and those who commute to and from Denmark.
For others, anyone who breaks the rules may be fined 3,500 Danish kroner. The quarantine can be shortened if you can show a negative test taken no earlier than four days after entering Denmark.
The measures, which are similar to those introduced in England in January, became possible thanks to a new team that was hammered through earlier this week.
