Denmark, like Sweden, is evaluated at the regional level when the government issues travel advice.
NRK’s calculations show that the country as a whole would be a candidate for being marked in the red, as the Danes have an infection rate of 21.2 per 100,000 inhabitants in the last two weeks.
At the moment, only North Jutland, South Denmark and Greenland are yellow and therefore do not create a quarantine obligation upon return to Norway. On Thursday, Zeeland also turned yellow after the government updated the travel advisory.
The Swedish regions of Örebro, Gotland, Värmland, Västernorrland, Jämtland and Västerbotten will also turn yellow.
The new travel advice applies from midnight to Saturday.
– Sudden change
At the same time, the Danes are experiencing the highest number of infections since April 22.
In the last 24 hours alone, 179 new corona infections have been recorded in the country, according to figures from the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen.
Professor Henrik Nielsen from Aalborg University says that the number of infections has increased compared to the last few days.
– It is a figure clearly higher than what we have seen daily in the last two weeks. It’s a pretty sudden change, Nielsen tells NTB.
31 of the new cases of infection originate in the municipality of Odense, where there has been an outbreak in a teacher training school.
On Thursday, the number of hospitalized covid-19 patients in Danish hospitals also increased from 2 to 17. At the same time, the number of hospitalized patients in the intensive care unit dropped from four to three.
Several countries turn red
The EU countries that are still yellow as assessed by the Norwegian authorities are:
Furthermore, parts of Sweden and Denmark are exempt from the quarantine obligation.
On Thursday, Italy and Slovenia turned red. Cyprus and several Swedish regions turn yellow again.
According to NRK calculations, Slovakia is also likely to turn red. They currently have an infection rate of 19.5.
Latvia (4.3) and Finland (6.6) are currently the EU countries with the lowest infection rates. By comparison, Norway currently has a national infection rate of 14.
