Denmark has become one of the first European Union countries to scrap most pandemic restrictions as it no longer considers the Covid-19 outbreak “a socially critical disease”.
The reason for that is that while the Omicron variant is surging in Denmark, it is not placing a heavy burden on the health system and the country has a high vaccination rate, officials said.
