The Danes are introducing vaccine passports, which means that the country may gradually begin to reopen. He writes various Danish media.
The Danish authorities called a press conference as early as 8.30am on Wednesday. It is Finance Minister Morten Bødskov (S) who reports on the measure.
– Parts of Danish society must move forward, including the business community. Therefore, I am pleased to announce a new collaboration on the development of a digital crown passport, says Bødskov.
The crown passport will confirm that the person who has it has been vaccinated against covid-19.

– Light in the tunnel
This may become clear in a few months, which will help open the society, says Bødskov. Among other things, you can contribute in connection with business and business trips. He emphasizes that different countries can still have different travel conditions.
The first step is for the Danes from the end of February to be able to access a website that confirms the status of the vaccine. Then a digital vaccine passport will be created that can be implemented quickly if evaluations by health professionals allow it, the government writes.
In the long term, these crown passes are expected to lead Danes back to being able to go to restaurants, sporting events, concerts and the like.
– This is how we can achieve a safe reopening. But we still have to work to keep the infection low, says Bødskov.
At the press conference the passport is referred to as “a light at the end of the tunnel”.
– It is too early to say precisely when and how they can be used, adds Bødskov.

Ole Erik Almlid, head of the Norwegian Business Confederation (NHO), believes this is good news. The same move has been debated in the WTO and the EU for some time.
– This will make things much easier for many. I think it is good that it is working, this can have great meaning for many of us. For the business community, this can mean more movement and workers being able to cross the border. It can also mean a lot to you and me. It’s very uplifting, Almlid tells Dagbladet.
But he emphasizes that there can be pitfalls.
– We must be sure that the vaccine prevents the spread of infection. Then we have the privacy issue around this. If bogus vaccine passes occur, it will be a major problem. Check for traps, says Almlid.
He shares the opinion of the Danes that it is a light at the end of the tunnel.
– I see quite a few lights at the end of the tunnel, I must say. It’s news that the vaccine is slowing the spread of the infection in Israel, that we are getting more vaccines from Astra Zeneca … there are many signs this will end. Although we must be aware of the mutant virus at this point, we must take the good news with us.
