UPDATE 28.01.2022 Coronavirus Disease COVID-19
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Protocol Department, presents its compliments to all Heads of Diplomatic Missions and Consulates accredited to Denmark and to International Organisations and Other Missions resident in Copenhagen and Honorary Consulates in Denmark and has the honour to share the following information as per the attached:
The Danish Government and a majority of the Epidemics Committee of the Danish Parliament have decided to discontinue the categorisation of COVID-19 as a disease posing a “critical threat to society” in Denmark after 1 February 2022. The decision has been made by recommendation of the Epidemic Commission as well as relevant health authorities.
As a result, remaining national restrictions in Denmark will be lifted as of 1 February 2022.
In addition, the temporary test requirement prior to entry into Denmark for all persons will be lifted by recommendation of the Epidemics Committee. Further, the Danish Government has decided to ease the Danish travel restrictions regime with the following, which will take effect on 1 February 2022:
The list of approved COVID-19 vaccines recognised for entry into Denmark will be expanded to also include current vaccines on WHO emergency use listing. These vaccines include Covishield, Covaxin, Sinovac and Sinopharm.
Current stricter requirements prior to boarding cruise ships will no longer apply. Passengers travelling on cruise ships will be subject to the same restrictions as all other travellers upon entry into Denmark.
No travel restrictions will apply to travellers who, regardless of their country of residence, are in possession of a valid vaccination or recovery (previously infected) certificate. Travel restrictions will still apply to travellers who are not vaccinated with an EMA- or WHO-approved vaccine or who have not been previously infected.
As always, further information will be available on https://en.coronasmitte.dk/ in due course.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Protocol Department, takes this opportunity to renew to all Heads of Diplomatic Missions and Consulates accredited to Denmark and to International Organisations and Other Missions resident in Copenhagen and Honorary Consulates in Denmark the assurances of its highest consideration.
