The government is looking into ushering in more restrictions as the number of new corona cases continues to rise.

The latest figures from the State Serum Institute (SSI) showed that 9,999 cases were registered over the past 24 hours, which is a new record high.

PM Mette Frederiksen wrote on Facebook that she wasn’t in doubt that new measures will be necessary in order to break infection chains.

“The Epidemic Commission is preparing them and we will say more as soon as we can. The most important thing remains getting that third vaccine jab. The sooner the better,” she wrote.

Meanwhile the Health Ministry will speak to the press tomorrow morning at 09:30.
