Restrictions currently in place are for the public to wear masks on public transportations, in restaurants, in shops, and people entering healthcare facilities and retirement homes, according to the Associated Press. However, following the February 1 change of restrictions, masks will only be required in hospitals, healthcare facilities and homes for the elderly. "We say goodbye to the restrictions and welcome the life we knew before," Frederiksen said. "As of Feb. 1, Denmark will be open." According to Health Minister Magnus Heunicke, Denmark's recent cases of COVID were more than 46,000 daily on average; however, only 40 people are in hospital intensive care units. Newsweek Newsletter sign-up > "We continue with a strong epidemic surveillance," Heunicke said according to the AP. "Then we...can react quickly if necessary." Despite lift of restrictions, Frederiksen warned there could be a rise in infections, which may lead to a fourth vaccination shot being necessary. "It may seem strange that we want to remove restrictions given the high infection rates," Frederiksen said. "But fewer people become seriously ill." Denmark was one of the first European counties in 2020 to close schools and send employees home due to the pandemic.

They make weasel word statements including some here that will allow them to bring back the BS at their whim. The idea of promising to end the who do on some date weeks in the present also seems a confession of BSology.
