In a letter addressed to party leaders in the Folketing (Parliament) on Friday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen proposed to ease the current ban on gatherings of more than ten people before the end of this summer.

According to the letter, the government intends to lift the ban in three stages throughout summer:

First, a maximum of 50 people would be allowed to gather in public from June 8; Then, the size limit for the group gatherings would be raised to 100 people from July 8; And from Aug. 8, the government would raise the limit to 200 people.

An extension of the "two square meters per person" rule would also make it possible for a maximum of 500 people to gather at conferences and sporting events while seated.

"The government wants to make it clear that if the epidemic flares up again, the tightening of the assembly ban is expected to be one of the first measures taken," said the prime minister.
