More coronavirus tents going up nationwide

An additional 11 field tents for COVID-19 testing springing up across Denmark this coming week 

Last week, the government set up five big field tents in all five Danish regions as part of an effort to increase the country’s coronavirus testing capacity. 

According to the Health Ministry, the government seeks to further enhance testing by erecting another 11 tents across Denmark this coming week following a successful pilot period. 

The tents will have facilities to test various groups of citizens on a daily basis and when eventually become part of the new Testcenter Danmark. 

Testcenter Danmark is a critical element of monitoring the infection rate of society, a process that is necessary to gradually reopening Denmark,” said the health minister, Magnus Heunicke.

The two tests being implemented are testing citizens for COVID-19 infections and testing for immunity – a sign that citizens have already had the virus.
