Denmark Allows Children to Return to Schools

Prime Minister Mattte Frederiksen welcomed the children as they again went to school in the Copenhagen capital.

Denmark was among the first countries in Europe to establish blockades, closing schools on March 12th.

The infection rate has been low, but critics warn the strategy is dangerous.

We're all a little nervous and we're going to have to make sure we stick to hygiene rules”, Elisa Rimpler from BUPL told the BBC.

Denmark's measures come as far as European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen appointed a plan for gradual removal of restrictions on the 27-nation bloc, but made it clear that it was not a signal to act immediately.
