CORONAVIRUS / COVID-19

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark receives many questions about coronavirus / COVID-19. Read the answers to the most frequently asked questions here.

Everyone traveling to Denmark from private travels abroad are strongly advised to stay in their homes for 14 days upon arrival in Denmark. When arriving they must limit physical contact to the greatest extent possible at the airport and observe the general guidelines for appropriate conduct in public spaces, including in public transport, and follow the recommendations of the Danish Health Authority to the population regarding symptoms of COVID-19.

Many countries continue to implement sweeping measures, which increasingly include entry and exit restrictions as well as cancellation of flights. These restrictions may complicate your ability to return home in the time to come. We are regularly posting updates on new local measures and changes in travel restrictions on the respective websites of Danish embassies around the world.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark thus advises Danes currently travelling abroad to return home as soon as possible and in close dialogue with your travel agency, airline or insurance company.

Upon your return, you should follow the recommendations of the Danish Health Authority to the population regarding symptoms of COVID-19. Persons who perform critical functions in the health sector, the elderly and nursing sector, and the social services sector should contact their employer to arrange the conditions for their return to work.
