With severe restrictions, similar to those introduced in Denmark during the first wave of covid-19 this spring, seven municipalities in the northern Danish region of North Jutland will stop the spread of the infection.
The mutated corona virus has spread among mink and has now been found in humans, which worries the World Health Organization WHO.
At least twelve Danes have been infected with the virus and eleven of them in North Jutland.
The new restrictions include travel and will apply until December 3 - the same date as the women's handball European Championships begin and Sweden plays against the Czech Republic.
"Will probably find a solution"
The championship will be played in Norway and Denmark and Sweden's group is planned to be played in Fredrikshamn, Denmark, in one of the affected municipalities.
- We will talk to Fredrikshamn about what is possible and impossible.
We will probably find a solution, says the Danish Handball Association's chairman Per Bertelsen to Ekstra Bladet.
Moving Sweden's EC group to Herning, where Denmark's group will play, is an alternative later on.
- It is a possible solution.
Denmark's group plays every other day, so there is capacity for that.
But we are loyal to Fredrikshamn that we are forced to make another decision, and yes ... then we will have to look at it, says Bertelsen.
