Denmark shuts all schools and universities amid surge in coronavirus cases
The Danish Government has announced the closure of all schools and universities and is sending home all non-critical government workers.


The government in Denmark has announced all schools and universities will be closed and non-critical public sector workers will be sent home in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The announcement was made after the number of cases in the country surged on Wednesday to more than 500.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said all schools, preschools and universities in the country would be closed in the country as of Monday.

She further announced public sector employees would be sent home unless their job was deemed critical. The drastic step is being taken by the government in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus, which has now been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.

On the same day of the government’s announcement, 514 people were diagnosed with the coronavirus in Denmark, which equates to a tenfold spike in the country’s number of infected patients.

The government have also advised that all events with more than 100 people should be cancelled. The previous advice was for events with 1000 people or more to be cancelled.
