Not over yet
Coronavirus destroyed the Danish economy, as it has done worldwide, and then the news has excited some.
Despite this new progress, analyst Bjørn Tangaa Sillemann from Danske Bank remains cautious.
“It is still almost four percent of the activity level we knew before the coronavirus hit Denmark, and the next step will not be as easy as the first, because the effect of reopening will not occur again in the fourth quarter.
Half of the schools are too static
According to a new study, ‘Movement on the school day 2020’, only 55 percent of Denmark’s primary schools meet the requirement for 45 minutes of daily movement. This figure represents little change from last year’s results. COVID-19 is believed to have played a role in stopping efforts to integrate more movement into Danish classrooms with closures and guidelines that affect the extent to which movement is possible.
Denmark is moving towards eco-hunting
Lead is a material without space in nature. This is the belief of both Minister of the Environment Lea Wermelin and the Danish Hunters’ Association, with Denmark set to be the first country in the world to ban the use of metal in ammunition. Every year, approximately 200,000 mammals are killed by hunters in Denmark – if each deadly bullet contained lead, it is equivalent to 2,000 kilos of toxic material that finds its way into nature.
“Cheers!”: Danish youth leads in alcohol consumption in Europe
The latest results from European School Survey Project on alcohol and other drugs has seen Denmark’s youth retain their crown after being at the top end of alcohol consumption in Europe for many years. The report shows that approximately 75 percent of 9th graders have been drinking alcohol in the past month, with drinkers averaging seven sessions at that time. This places them in third place on the continent, surpassed only by Germany and Cyprus.
Violent gang dissolved by the Supreme Court
The decision to dissolve Loyal to Familia, a violent Danish gang, was made by the Copenhagen City Court on 24 January 2020, and this decision has now been upheld in the Eastern Supreme Court. This is the first time that the Supreme Court has ruled on whether an association is inherently violent. LTF has appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.
