(32 minutes later) | |
Denmark will allow certain small businesses, such as hairdressers, beauty salons and driving schools, to reopen on April 20, the government said on Friday. The order follows a lockdown imposed last month to curb the spread of coronavirus. | |
The move also comes after the Nordic country, one of Europe’s first to shut down, began reopening day care centers and schools this week in a first step towards gradually easing the lockdown. | The move also comes after the Nordic country, one of Europe’s first to shut down, began reopening day care centers and schools this week in a first step towards gradually easing the lockdown. |
“No one wants to keep Denmark closed a day longer than is absolutely necessary,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Facebook. “But we must not proceed faster than we can still keep the epidemic under control.” | “No one wants to keep Denmark closed a day longer than is absolutely necessary,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Facebook. “But we must not proceed faster than we can still keep the epidemic under control.” |
The country will keep its borders shut, while curbs on restaurants, bars and gyms remain in place, as does a ban on large public gatherings. With a tally of 321 virus-related deaths, Denmark has seen a fall this month in such deaths and hospitalizations, Reuters reports. |
