Nordea Staff in Denmark Urged to Carry Covid Passport at Office

Nordea Staff in Denmark Urged to Carry Covid Passport at Office

Nordea Bank Abp is urging its employees in Denmark to bring a Covid certificate when working at the office.

The biggest Nordic bank isn’t currently checking whether employees have a Covid passport, but said staff are “expected to act responsibly” and follow hygiene protocols. The purpose is to limit the spread of the virus, a Nordea spokesman said in an emailed response to questions. 

The lender also provides Covid testing at its largest locations in Denmark.

Nordea’s move comes at a time when Denmark is working on rushing through legislation that will allow employers to demand workers have a valid Covid passport. And even though those proposals are not yet in place, they do have the backing of a major labor organization.
