March 2020 – ?. An epitaph not yet completed for the covid-19 that could be getting closer and closer, since Denmark has been the first country in Europe to abolish all the restrictions that were latent, giving way to the most similar memory of what the life before the decree of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are ready to step out of the shadow of the coronavirus, say goodbye to restrictions and welcome back the life we had before. The pandemic continues, but we are past the critical stage.” With this hopeful message, the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, in order to guide the course of other countries that make similar decisions in the coming months.
An end to all the coronavirus restrictions that comes when the Scandinavian country is at its maximum data for infections, but with a calm in the hospitals that has pushed the decision to be made. With more than 45,000 cases detected in the last 24 hours, mortality rates are just over 60 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and a hospitalization rate that does not reach 1,000 patients in the last 24 hours (around 40% of these would be patients for other reasons who subsequently tested positive for covid-19).
These are the measures raised by Denmark
In this way, Denmark is confident that this time it will be the official end of all restrictions since it was already attempted in September 2021 but it made the Danish Executive back down. Now with great confidence, among other measures, the mandatory nature of the mask on the street has been lifted and the restaurant has been opened to the full both on terraces and indoors.
The end of “the critical stage” that comes enhanced by the high percentage of vaccinated Danes. More than 80% have the full regimen, while 60% have already received the booster dose.

For all these reasons, a new stage of surveillance begins that will have high cases but that will gradually set the course for a return to normality. With a recommendation for the use of masks in the most vulnerable cases, it will also be for those unvaccinated tourists who travel to Denmark.
In addition, it is expected that in the winter of 2022 a large part of the population will have to undergo , in order to ensure that the majority of citizens continue to be protected against covid-19. In other words, a return to the greatest possible normality that other countries are already watching closely.
From epidemic… to endemic?
The United Kingdom or even Spain have been some of the States that already contemplate the in order to give a sense of greater normality. At the moment, the European Union and the World Health Organization (WHO) are monitoring the case of Denmark while they continue to study whether.
