The Covid-19 epidemic is expected to disappear in the short term in Denmark, according to a report by researchers who warned however of a “considerable risk” of a second wave, according to AFP.

The report was released by the Danish health agency SSI, which operates under the health ministry and is responsible for the surveillance of infectious diseases.

“It is highly likely that the epidemic dies out on its own if the current level of closure continues,” it said.

The researchers added that the epidemic was expected to die out even with a reopening of businesses, if social distancing was maintained, but stressed that “this is in the short term”.
