Denmark eases assembly ban as pandemic subsides

The right to assembly was raised to 100 people in Denmark Wednesday, according to a parliament agreement reached on June 8, reported Xinhua.

The decision, which was made as the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside in the country, would allow 200 people to assembly on Aug. 8 if there were no second wave of infections, said Lars Ostergaard, a professor at Aarhus University to Danish news agency Ritzau.

Originally, the government introduced a 10-person limit in mid-March to curb the spread of COVID-19 as large sections of the society began to close down.
