18 municipalities have been imposed further restrictions by the health authorities to limit covid-19 infection.
It makes good sense to ask Christian Wejse, a specialist in infectious diseases at Aarhus University.
– I think the restrictions are reasonable and proportionate.
– They reflect where infection chains have been found, and then we try to limit our gatherings in that area. That, I think, makes good sense, he says.
Head of Department at the Statens Serum Institut (SSI) Tyra Grove Krause states at a press conference on Monday that there is an increasing number of young people aged 20 to 29 among the new infected.
And even though the young people rarely have a particularly bad course of the disease, the infection must still be taken seriously, Christian Wejse believes. Even young people can have long-term consequences such as loss of taste and smell, he points out.
The 18 municipalities that are subject to new restrictions are Albertslund, Ballerup, Brøndby, Dragør, Frederiksberg, Gentofte, Gladsaxe, Glostrup, Herlev, Hvidovre, Høje-Taastrup, Ishøj, Copenhagen, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Rødovre, Tårnby, Vallensbæk and Odense .
Here, the assembly ban is lowered to 50 from 100 people, and bars and restaurants, which would otherwise have been allowed to extend the opening hours in phase 4 of the reopening, will again close no later than 24 o’clock.
