He says this to Politiken.
– Once we have vaccinated all 50 plus-year-olds, we are somewhere else. A place where the risk is different than today. There we say that then we can open Denmark. Under certain conditions. It is clear that one can not just say that then all restrictions will lapse, says the Liberal chairman to the newspaper.
However, he points out that this presupposes that no new super-spreader mutations appear, just as it is necessary for the vaccines to arrive in the country on schedule.
At the same time, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen makes it clear that it will not be possible for everyone to pour out for concerts and football matches as soon as all of them over the age of 50 have been vaccinated.
For example, it will be necessary to present a corona pass if you are going out into the nightlife or a place where people are close and many are gathered.
– You may either have had the disease and thus antibodies. You can have the vaccine. Or you can have a fresh negative pcr or antigen test, he says to Politiken.
According to the government’s vaccination plan, mass vaccination of the large broad population group aged 16 to 64 will begin on 1 May.
Already when the government earlier this week presented an agreement for a gradual reopening of society from March 1, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen said that more should be opened.
Here he pointed out, among other things, the large, human costs, the well-being of children and young people and companies and small self-employed people who are on the verge of bankruptcy.
The reopening agreement has been reached between the government and its support parties; The Radicals, the Socialist People’s Party and the Unity List.
