Danish shopping malls, cafes and restaurants will be allowed to open next Monday and older children will return to school in the second phase of Denmark’s reopening from its coronavirus lockdown, Reuters reports.

“The government is proposing that we reopen the entire retail sector including shopping malls, that restaurants and cafes can open again, and that older schoolchildren can get more of their everyday life back,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said.

So far, 9,938 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 in Denmark.
