Denmark closed its borders on Saturday midday in the hope of curbing the spread of the coronavirus, one of the fastest in Europe, which infected 864 people in two weeks, including 1 dead, for 5076 test subjects. "We are in an unprecedented situation that none of us has tried before," said Premier Mette Frederiksen, announcing this measure, which is valid until April 13, "a historic decision in peacetime . "
Only those working or living in the country or visiting seriously ill relatives will be allowed to enter Denmark. Freight transport to and from the kingdom is also exempt so as not to cripple the nation's economy. "We have no choice because all the measures we have taken to curb the virus could be undermined if we continue to let people in and out of the kingdom go free , " said the Prime Minister.
