Daily coronavirus infections in Denmark have reached a new record, propelled by the Omicron variant, which is now the predominant variant in the Nordic country, Health Minister Magnus Heunicke has said, according to Reuters.
“SSI deems Omicron to be the dominant variant already now, and [it is] still growing,” Heunicke said on Twitter, citing the country's top infectious disease authority, Statens Serum Institut.
Denmark has logged a record 13,558 infections in the last 24 hours, but the number of Covid-19 patients in hospitals has dropped by 27 to 554.
