According to DW, only visitors to Denmark will be required to present proof of vaccination. Hospitals and nursing homes are advised to keep certain restrictions like face masks.
Denmark will no longer classify Covid-19 as a "socially critical disease", according to Health Minister Magnus Heunicke.
The government can enact wide-ranging measures such as mask mandates for these socially critical diseases.
Denmark will no longer categorise COVID-19 as a "socially critical disease" as of February 1, Health Minister Magnus Heunicke wrote in a letter to the parliament's epidemiology committee.

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said they were "ready to step out of the shadows of the coronavirus" and that they were saying "goodbye" to restrictions and "welcome" to "the life we knew before".
