Denmark has lifted all of its domestic Covid-19 restrictions, including the wearing of face masks, making it the first European Union country to do so.
Nightclubs have reopened, late-night alcohol sales have resumed, and the Danish coronavirus app is no longer needed to enter venues.
While cases are still relatively high, the authorities say the virus no longer qualifies as a “critical threat”.
That is due to the country’s high vaccination rate, experts say.
More than 80% of the population over the age of five have had two vaccinations and over 60% have been given a third booster dose.
Since Tuesday, masks are no longer required in shops, restaurants, and on public transport. Limits on the number of people allowed at indoor gatherings and social distancing measures also came to an end.
