Frederiksen (S) says that schools up to fifth grade and even preschools should be opened if the number of infected and the number of new deaths remains stable. On the other hand, restrictions on larger crowds should remain until August.

Restaurants, bars and hairdressers should remain closed, at least until the "next phase" according to Frederiksen.

She also says that there will be no final exams for the elementary schools this semester.

New figures

The message came after new statistics were reported on deaths and infected.

At present, about 500 patients with coronary heart disease have been admitted to Danish hospitals. About 140 people receive intensive care.

A total of 1,322 people with the infection were cared for in hospitals, but about 600 of them recovered so much that they could be discharged.

Deaths continue to rise - according to the latest compilation, the number is now up in 187.

Prohibition to gather more than ten people both in public and in private homes and has been in effect since March 17.

Increased police staffing

Mette Frederiksen continues to urge citizens not to travel too much around the country during Easter. However, it is not prohibited.

The Danish police announce a commitment to ensure that the infection protection rules are complied with during the Easter weekend.

"We will increase staffing by 25 percent and we will have a massive presence over Easter," says Kim Christiansen in the Vestegnens police area in Copenhagen.

He says that 700 people have heard from the police about various infringements of the infection control rules. In total there are 80 suspected cases. These are, among other things, about cafes, hairdressers and clubs that are suspected of breaking the rules.

Fewer crimes

On the other hand, other crimes have been reduced, for example, the number of burglaries has decreased.

"It also means that we have these extra resources to use," says Kim Christiansen.

Extra police personnel will also be sent to summer cabin areas in southern and southern Jutland to keep an eye on the many vacant houses that are empty.
