Denmark's state epidemiologist doesn’t recommend reopening society further – report

The state epidemiologist of Denmark said on Tuesday he could not recommend proceeding to the next phase of reopening society during the coronavirus outbreak, Ingenioeren media reported.

“It is not something that I can recommend from a healthcare perspective that you go ahead with,” Kare Molbak, director of the state’s Serum Institute, was quoted as saying.
