Coronavirus: Expert says there is ‘no cure’ or vaccine
A Danish man who returned from a skiing trip in the Lombardy region of Italy on Monday tested positive for the virus on Wednesday night. He is now in isolation at home with his wife and son- neither of them have the virus.
How severe is coronavirus in Denmark?
On Tuesday it was announced that there was a low risk of a country-wide epidemic, and this will not be changing, said the Danish Health Authority (DHA)
Even though there is a low risk of geographical spreading within Denmark, it is expected that there will be more cases of the infection.
DHA director Søren Brostrøm, as well as the country’ Minister for Health Magnus Heunicke are calling for calm in the country, even though they are prepared for more infections to be discovered.
Heunicke said: “We take the new situation very seriously. Work to contain and trace has now begun.
“We will do all we can to avoid symptoms spreading in Denmark.”

Is it safe to travel to Denmark?
The FCO have not advised against travelling to Denmark, and the country is a low-risk zone at present.
If you have tickets booked to go then it is unlikely you will be refunded, due to the FCO’s lack of warning against visiting.
The DHA are working with hospitals, ambulances, and general practitioners to prevent spreading.
The Statens Serum Institut is prepared for an influx of testing samples and are closely monitoring the situation in other countries.
Are people in Denmark in quarantine?
The DHA do not recommend quarantine for people coming home from infected countries unless, after assessment, the risk of individual infection is high.
People who have airways symptoms have been asked to ring their doctor or emergency services instead of going in person.
