Denmark Considers Reopening Malls, Restaurants From Monday

(Bloomberg) --

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the government may decide to reopen restaurants, shopping malls and big retailers as early as Monday after overseeing positive results from its early response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Frederiksen was speaking to local media ahead of a debate among party leaders on the next phase of the containment measures.

Denmark was one of the first countries to introduce strict restrictions and one of the first to start a gradual return to normality. The youngest kids were able to return to school after Easter and Frederiksen now wants to let all primary school students back as well.

As of Wednesday Denmark has 9,938 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 506 deaths.
