Denmark relaxes control at all its borders

Police expects the new controls will lead to shorter waiting times for travellers looking to enter the country

Sep 4, 2020

As of September 3, the authorities have relaxed Denmark’s border control at all entry points to the country.

Instead of full border control, the new effort will involve periodic random stops at a rate that will be regulated in intensity to compliment the expected number of travellers passing through borders.

The Police expects the new controls will foster smoother flow of traffic and consequently shorter waiting times for travellers looking to enter Denmark.

Airports remain alert
The move also entails all borders previously closed due to the Coronavirus Crisis in south Jutland being opened.

In relation to international airports in Denmark, the police will remain present and coronavirus efforts there will also be reduced to random testing for flights arriving from Schengen regions.

However, full control testing for COVID-19 will remain intact in regards to flights arriving from other regions, as well as from countries that have been deemed as ‘quarantine countries’ by the authorities.
