Airline passengers arriving to Denmark from Doha or Dubai must take a mandatory Covid-19 test.
The move is aimed at delaying the spread of the new Omicron variant, Danish health minister Magnus Heunicke said on Wednesday.
“People who land from Dubai and Doha must have a test before they leave the airport,” Heunicke told a news briefing.
On Tuesday, Denmark registered a total of four cases of the new Omicron coronavirus variant, its infectious disease authority, adding that all of them were connected to "travel activity" in South Africa.
