Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen (L), speaking with the pupils when she participates in the reopening of Lykkebo School in Valby in Copenhagen, Denmark, 15 April 2020.
Starting 15 April 2020 nurseries, kindergartens and schools for the youngest children will reopen.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic all schools, kindergartens and nurseries have been closed since 16 March 2020.
However, classes are only resuming in about half of Denmark’s municipalities and in about 35% of Copenhagen’s schools, as some have requested more time to adjust to health protocols still in place.
All are expected to reopen by 20 April.
In early April, the country’s government announced that schools would be reopened “on the condition that everyone keeps their distance and washes their hands”.
Schools are required to ensure that a distance of two metres is maintained between desks in classrooms, and recesses must be organised for small groups.
Middle and high school students, will continue remote classes and are only expected to return to classrooms on 10 May.
As of Tuesday, Denmark had 6,691 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 299 deaths.
