When half of Denmark’s reality TV stars were on holiday in Dubai, we already knew that a disproportionate amount of counterfeit goods would arrive back in Copenhagen every day now.
Eyelashes, boobs, credentials, personalities – and now you can apparently add fake coronavirus tests to the list.
Five-day flight ban
The Danish government has good reason to suspect the legitimacy of the tests being carried out and has immediately banned all flights from the UAE for the next five days to allow it time to evaluate the situation.
The Ministry of Transport confirms that there are “suspected irregularities with tests in Dubai” and it feels that it can no longer rely on them as proof that the arriving passengers are COVID-19 negative.
Dubai a source of mutations
“We have seen in the past, mutations coming in via Dubai and we cannot ignore such a suspicion,” the Foreign Ministry added.
The Department of Transportation added that it needs time to “investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that the required negative test is in fact a real test performed correctly”.
The ban starts tonight.
