The Danish government will no longer consider Covid-19 as a socially critical disease in Denmark, citing the large number of vaccinations in the Scandinavian country.

"The epidemic is under control. We have record-high vaccination rates," said Health Minister Magnus Heunicke in a statement.

Starting Sept 10, "We can drop some of the special rules we had to introduce in the fight against Covid-19,” he said.

In practice, that will mean partially phasing out vaccination card requirements for some major events, like concerts, and in night clubs. On July 1, Denmark introduced a digital coronavirus passport that had to be shown when required.
