Everyone is down on the Government for relaxing restrictions, yet Denmark is going hell for leather now - here is the latest guidance from the company I have a contract with:
"Based on the government's announcement of a phase two of the gradual reopening of our society, we have decided to increase the number of employees in our offices from 25% to 50% employees. Starting Tuesday.
This means that you talk with your team tomorrow and plan how to allocate the days with the new percentage in mind. It is important to state, that the decision does not change the behavioral guidelines previously announced. Meaning:
- The office buildings are still only accessible through the main entrances
- We keep registering to the guard in the reception when we arrive in the morning
- We use hand sanitizers and wash hands regularly
- We keep a social distance to our colleagues
- The elevators are still closed
- We follow all instructions and signage in the offices
- If we feel the slightest fever or sickness, we stay home
At the same time as we further open our offices, we are pleased to be able to reopen our 19 stores in the city centers tomorrow and welcome back the employees in customer service and tele sales, who has been home on the Relief packages from the government."
Schools are open, the 2 metre rule has been relaxed to 1 meter, bars and restaurants are reopening.
The one thing Denmark has done differently from the outset was to close borders and they are still closed, with no information yet on when people will be allowed to travel. That is causing problems for the Danish tourist industry - thousands of Germans pre-book summer holiday accommodation in Jutland and there is no indication yet as to whether they will be able to visit their holiday homes.
