Denmark has advised its citizens against non-essential travel to Belgium because of the high number of new infections, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Thursday.
The Danish authorities advise against travelling to a certain country or region if more than 30 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants are recorded. The figure for Belgium is 32.5.
The same measures go into force for Malta, which has 31.5 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, according to Denmark. In order for the measure to be lifted again, the number would have to drop below 20 new infections per 100,000 people.
