Copenhagen, Sep 16 A Danish government-commissioned expert group released a report, advocating a contingency strategy for Covid-19 situation.Denmark has reclassified Covid-19 from "socially critical disease" to "generally dangerous disease", and almost all the restrictions were lifted on September 10, reports Xinhua news agency.The report, entitled "An everyday life with increased preparedness", supports a rapid escalation of efforts in the event that the epidemic shifts to a more critical stage.In addition, the expert group recommended that the long-term strategy against Covid-19 should balance between epidemic control, economy, well-being and public health "to avoid as many national shutdowns as possible"."New and potentially more worrying virus variants may emerge, as well as the fact that Covid-19 in interaction with other respiratory infections may become a challenge to public health, especially in the coming winter," said the report.The export group said that the Delta variant has made it clear that "we will have to live with coronavirus in Denmark in the coming years".There were reasons to worry "new variants can arise, most likely outside Denmark, therefore we must be prepared for both a forth and fifth wave", said group member Astrid Iversen, professor of virology at the University of Oxford.In the past 24 hours, the Statens Serum Institute (SSI) registered 370 new Covid-19 infections and three deaths, bringing the national totals to 353,431 cases and 2,617 deaths.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
