According to new figures from the State Serum Institute (SSI), things are moving in the wrong direction in regards to the coronavirus situation in Denmark.
SSI’s daily update for Wednesday revealed 630 new cases – the most in a single day since September 25 and the second-highest ever in the country.
It’s only the third time that over 600 confirmed cases have been registered in a single day.
And the confirmed cases are found among over 43,000 samples taken – a 1.4 percent infection rate, which is far higher than before than in recent weeks.
