In Denmark, all restrictive measures introduced due to the corona virus have been lifted, including special covid passports that were mandatory for entering nightclubs.
The Covid passports were introduced in March this year, when Copenhagen slowly began to ease restrictions.
Those passes were abolished in all places on September 1, except in nightclubs, where they will no longer be needed from today, reports Radio Free Europe.
On Saturday, a concert will be held in Copenhagen with the attendance of about 50 thousand people, and all the tickets have been sold.
"Our goal is free movement. What will happen now is that the virus will circulate and find those who have not been vaccinated," said epidemiologist Lone Simonsen.
She added that the virus is now no longer a social threat, thanks to the vaccine.
"Vaccines have so far provided immunity against new strains, but if vaccine-resistant strains emerge, we will have to rethink our strategy," Simonsen said.
With about 500 daily cases of infection with the corona virus and a reproduction rate of 0,7, the Danish authorities state that they have the virus under control.
Health Minister Magnus Hojnike said the Danish government would not hesitate to quickly reimpose restrictions if necessary.
The authorities insist that the return to normal life must be accompanied by strict hygiene measures and isolation of the sick.
Denmark has said it will closely monitor the number of hospitalizations, currently just under 130, and conduct meticulous sequencing to track the virus.
The third dose of the vaccine is available to risk groups from Thursday.
Travelers entering Denmark must still have either a covid passport or a negative PCR test, and masks are mandatory at airports.
