Danske Nyheder Round-Up: Children account for 40 percent of all fireworks injuries

Danske Nyheder Round-Up: Children account for 40 percent of all fireworks injuries

Every New Year’s Eve, the public does not learn this year’s lessons.

From failing to ensure that their children wear goggles to taking a ridiculously close look at the fireworks that could not fire, injuries are common every year in a country where a fair portion of the population are self-proclaimed pyrotechnic lunatics.

Four out of ten

Of the 174 people injured by fireworks in Denmark on 31 December and 1 January, almost half were children, according to report performed annually by the Accident Analysis Group at Odense University Hospital.

The young people accounted for 40 per cent. Distributed, children under 15 years accounted for 27 percent, and the age group 15-17 years the rest.

24 serious injuries

About 24 of the 174 people injured by fireworks were seriously injured.

The figures were the same as last year. Again, there were no fatalities.


New Danish passport for 2022: More motives and harder to copy

Danish passports will be harder to copy in the future thanks to a new design. Several security features have been added. In appearance, the font has changed, the Jelling Stone / Christ coat of arms on the cover has been given a more prominent place, and motifs of the 31 largest islands in the Danish Commonwealth have been added at the bottom of the visa pages. However, the color is unchanged.

Day care workers are more likely to contract corona than health care workers

In the penultimate week of 2021 (December 20-26), more than 20 daycare workers received a much higher proportion than those in the health sector. Divided, kindergarten staff (7.47 percent) were more likely than kindergarten (5.87) and integrated companies (6.87), according to data from the Statens Serum Institut.

Revealing numbers confirm the risk of getting to the hospital
Every sixth hospitalized with omicron at Herlev Hospital received the corona load while he was hospitalized. Based on data from November 21 to December 25, it was found to be true for 55 of the 330 hospitalized patients infected with corona.

The Minister of Education is confident that schools can reopen on Wednesday
Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil, Minister for Children and Education, is convinced that students can safely return to school as planned on 5 January. To Jyllands-Posten, she promised that all students and staff would be screened on an ongoing basis. Interaction between classes and social events will be extremely limited.

Understand why some are immune and others are not
Researchers from Rigshospitalet, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University are currently analyzing blood samples from 7,000 Danes in an attempt to understand how corona vaccines work differently from person to person. “Some of the vaccinated have not actually become immune,” Professor Jens Lundgren from the Department of Infectious Diseases at Rigshospitalet explains to DR. “We want to understand who they are, where they are in society, and what we can do to strengthen their immunity.”

Medical students do not want physical examination
Nearly 600 medical students at Aarhus University have signed a petition asking to be exempted from personally participating in an exam later this month in light of the current corona development. Instead, students would like to take the exam online.
