Denmark has repeatedly broken its highest ever daily coronavirus case total this week and posted over 4,500 cases on Friday. What s going on? During the first coronavirus wave, Denmark was largely praised for keeping its number of Covid-19 deaths and cases low relative to other countries, and for being able to end its lockdown relatively early, notably with the reopening of schools. However, little more than a week after a partial lockdown was introduced in an effort to curb increasing cases, the country is tightening measures further as it grapples a sharp uptick in new Covid-19 infections.
