Denmark has become one of the first European Union countries to scrap most pandemic restrictions as the Scandinavian country no longer considers the Covid-19 outbreak a socially critical disease, reports AP.

The most visible restriction disappearing is the wearing of face masks, which are no longer mandatory on public transportation, shops and for standing clients in restaurant indoor areas. Authorities only recommend mask use in hospitals, health care facilities and nursing homes.

Another restriction that no longer is required is the digital pass used to enter nightclubs, cafes, party buses and to be seated indoors in restaurants.
