– I know very well that it can happen to all of us. Just preferably not for me. So of course I’m sorry and I want to thank everyone again for everything we do together to keep the infection down, she wrote on Facebook Saturday.
The statement came after Ekstra Bladet published a video that showed Frederiksen standing in a clothing store in Copenhagen without a bandage on Friday.
– It was simply an oversight after the new rules were introduced, the Prime Minister wrote.
On Monday, Denmark introduced a requirement to use face masks in public transport and shops.
According to the rules, you can get fines of up to 2,500 Danish kroner if you refuse to use a mask in a store, for example. The amount increases in the event of repeated violations of the rules.
The stores themselves are primarily responsible for enforcing the rules.
