Denmark’s Ministry of Health has announced it will allow public gatherings of up to 500 people for the foreseeable future, as the country tentatively eases lockdown measures.
Starting on May 10, authorities will lift the ban on gatherings of more than 10 people which had been in place. The new limit will last until at least September 1 this year, reports state broadcaster TV2.
The Ministry of Health insisted that it would continue to monitor the situation closely and that the limit for public gatherings was subject to change at any moment. So far, Denmark has reported at least 7,711 confirmed cases of coronavirus infection and 364 deaths from Covid-19.
