On Friday, the government said masks would no longer be required on Danish public transport, as the Scandinavian country had abolished the last of its mandatory face-covering rules.
“We are now in a situation … where most of the population has been vaccinated and we are returning to a more normal daily life,” said Transport Minister Benny Engelbrecht.
“From Saturday, we can say goodbye to masks on buses, trains and the subway,” he added.
The change was originally scheduled for September 1.
On Wednesday, health authorities relaxed the rules of social distancing in the Kingdom of Scandinavia with a population of 5.8 million people, where about 1,000 new cases of infection are registered daily.
More than 60 percent of the population has received a full course of vaccination.
“We now have good control over the infection in society,” said Helen Bilstead Probst, deputy director of the National Health Agency.
“Therefore, we can adapt prevention recommendations so that people can lead a normal daily life, adhering to the principle of prevention.”
Masks will remain mandatory on aircraft and airports in the country where international air traffic regulations apply.
