With a recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Denmark, the Government have brought in a few additional health measures effective from Monday 29 November. Masks will be reintroduced into a few public spaces – public transport, malls, shops and healthcare facilities. COVID passports will also be extended to universities and government buildings.
This will have no impact on the rest of Electric City. We are already making use of COVID passports, and masks are not required – but they are available around the venue for those who wish to use them. We will not be imposing any new restrictions for the rest of the event.
For more info on the new measures, please check the Danish government website: https://en.coronasmitte.dk/rules-and-regulations
