Denmark and Sweden introduce entry restrictions

Denmark and Sweden introduce requirements for the submission of a negative coronal test for entry into the two countries, regardless of vaccine status.

Now Norwegians over the age of 15, who travel from Kristiansand to Hirtshals, and who do not have a residence in Denmark, must present a negative coronal test to enter the country.

The Danish authorities require travelers without residence in the country to present a negative antigen test that is less than 48 hours old or a PCR test that is a maximum of 72 hours old.

Travelers residing in Denmark must take a test no later than 24 hours after arrival in the country.

The measure came into effect on Monday, and it initially lasts until 17 January.

But there are a number of exceptions, including for entry from the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, which borders Denmark, for business travel, for children under 15 and for people who can document that they have been infected with coronavirus in recent years six months.

From Tuesday, Sweden will introduce a requirement that all foreign visitors over the age of twelve must present a negative test that has been taken no later than 48 hours before entering Sweden.

Commuters are exempt from the requirement, the Swedish authorities state.
