The number of infections with the corona virus is significantly higher in Denmark than in Germany, but the government there is taking a different course. The mask requirement is no longer there.
The last masks in Denmark are also falling: From Saturday, in Germany’s northernmost neighboring country, you no longer have to wear mouth and nose protection when you are on the bus, train or ferry.
The mask requirement for standing passengers in local public transport was originally supposed to be lifted on September 1, but has now been canceled, as the Danish Ministry of Transport announced on Friday.
The reason for this is that the recommendation of the health authorities to maintain a one-meter distance in public spaces has been deleted. The ministry said that it was “a natural consequence” that the obligation to wear a mask was abolished.
Danes have hardly had to wear masks since mid-June. The only exception is now air traffic: If you fly, the requirement for mouth and nose protection still applies, since, according to the Ministry of Transport, air traffic falls under international rules.
In the course of the far-reaching easing of the corona restrictions, the number of new infections in Denmark has risen in recent months, but they have stabilized for some time. In the most recent comparative figures from the EU health authority ECDC, Denmark has a 14-day incidence that is five times higher than in Germany. Mainly younger Danes in the larger cities are currently infected with the corona virus.
