Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that the government is going to scrap all COVID-19 restrictions as of February 1, and reclassify COVID-19 as a disease that no longer poses a threat to society, after receiving Denmark’s Health Minister Magnus Heunicke’s letter on the matter, even as the infection numbers increase to a record high.
The announcement comes as a new subvariant of Omicron, BA.2 drove infections up, reaching 51,000 new recorded COVID-19 cases as of Thursday, according to. Health authorities have estimated that only between 30%-40% of the 955 hospitalized patients are in there for other reasons than COVID-19. Heunicke said, at the same conference, that the decision is safe and the right thing to do and added, “The situation in Denmark is that we have this decoupling between infections and intensive care patients, and it is mainly due to the large attachment among Danes to revaccination.
