Denmark today began using the Covid “passport” as part of a plan to gradually reopen the country.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

After entering a recently reopened barber shop, Rune H\u00f8jsgaard shows the “Coronapass” on the phone; among the first in Europe to apply the measure, Denmark has started using the Covid “passport”, available through a secure application, as well as “<\/span>\u00a0on paper “.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

For now, it allows entry into certain small businesses – barbershops, beauty salons or driving schools – proving that the owner is either completely vaccinated, has already been cured of Covid-19 for two to twelve weeks, or has a negative Covid test<\/span>\u00a0in the last 72 hours.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“I waited three months to get a haircut,” says Rune H\u00f8jsgaard, a 42-year-old computer scientist.<\/span> “I did a test on Saturday, it is valid until this afternoon.<\/span> I’m usually tested once or several times a week, so it’s not a problem for me, “he explains.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After almost four months of closure, the owner of the salon, Pernille Nielsen, is “delighted” to meet her customers again.<\/span> “I have been waiting so long for this reopening!<\/span> Now we do everything we can to be able to reopen and if necessary (Coronapass), then we use it “, sums up the manager.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

European authorities will present the draft digital green certificate on Wednesday, which aims to facilitate mobility on the continent.<\/span> You must meet at least one of the three criteria selected to benefit from this document.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Denmark is one of the first countries in Europe to put the system into operation, while the European Commission is still working on launching a digital “green certificate” to move freely (oh the irony) back into the EU.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

It is a temporary measure, but is expected to remain in force until the entire Danish population has access to the vaccine.<\/span> It will not be used for travel at this time, although the government intends to do so in the end.<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, it will be mandatory for access to terraces, which are scheduled to reopen on April 21, then in restaurants, museums, theaters and cinemas, starting May 6.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Middle school and high school students, who are partially returning to their schools on Tuesday, do not need a Covid passport, but it is recommended that all students over the age of 12 and teachers be tested.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, over 300,000 tests can be performed daily.<\/span> Entrepreneurs who do not require the presentation of the “Coronapass” are liable to fines of at least 400 euros – up to 6,000 euros in case of a repeated crime<\/em>, said the Ministry of Justice.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

For customers, the fine will be around 330 euros.<\/span> The almost total opening is scheduled for May 21, the date chosen because it must correspond to the vaccination of all over 50 years.<\/span> About 7% of the 5.8 million inhabitants of the Scandinavian country have been completely vaccinated.<\/span> 13.3% received a first dose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
