Kåre Mølbak the Division of Infectious Diseases Preparedness the State Serum Institute (SSI) has deemed the chance of a second wave of coronavirus hitting Denmark to be “very unlikely”.
He concedes that though more outbreaks cannot be ruled out, any threat of a second wave developing would be mitigated by the fact that Denmark has expanded testing capacity, learned how to deal with infection and how to treat coronavirus patients.
Mølbak also noted that no countries have yet to register a second wave, although some have experienced new spikes in cases – which could occur in Denmark.

Nearly all municipalities on Funen and most in Jutland have not registered a new case over the past week.
In fact, of the 34 municipalites not to see new cases over the past seven days, only three are east of the Great Belt Bridge – Solrød, Allerød and Bornholm – while Odense Municipality was the only one in Funen to register new cases.
