859 new cases of infection were found on Friday. It is the highest number in a day ever and breaks the record from Thursday, which stood at 760 cases.
The contact number, also known as the infection pressure, was down to 0.8 a few weeks ago. In September, it was up to 1.6. Currently, the contact number is 1, which means that one corona-infected person on average passes the virus on to another.
No traditional Christmas lunches
In September, the government lowered the assembly ban to 50 people.
And on October 7, the assembly ban and the rules that restaurants, bars and cafes must stay closed at 10pm were extended to apply until October.
On Thursday, the Prime Minister also announced that the tightening will mean that traditional Christmas lunches will not be able to be implemented.
– The corona is back. And we will introduce further restrictions, Mette Frederiksen told Ritzau on Thursday.
