In Brief
- The Facts:On Tuesday, Denmark began requiring people to use a new COVID certificate to enter certain businesses or face fines, one of the first European countries to do so.
- Reflect On:Why is there such a large group of people, who see issue with governmental measures, taking action to stop them? Does it show we don’t agree on our collective approach? Does it show we don’t agree on the threat level of COVID-19?
What Happened: Denmark recently began requiring people to obtain a “CoronaPass.” It’s one of the first countries in Europe to do so. This pass certifies whether or not someone has been fully vaccinated. It also certifies whether someone has tested negative in the previous 72 hours, or has tested positive between two to twelve weeks prior to that, which would suggest that they’ve gained immunity to the virus from previous infection.
