Coming a month after Denmark removed all COVID-19 restrictions, the top Danish health official warned that the country may be locked down again if more people aren’t vaccinated.

“Even though we are at an incredibly high level ... if we are to keep Denmark open, then we must have more people to get the vaccine,” Minister of Health Magnus Heunicke told Danish channel TV2, adding that new shutdowns could be likely in the near future.
