Denmark/Norway Create a "Travel Bubble" To Be Effective June 15

This BBC article states that travel between Denmark and Norway will be allowed as of June 15. It's interesting that:

  • They've set a date more than two weeks in the future.
  • Sweden--whose death rate has nearly caught up with that of France--is excluded, despite its close ties to Denmark.

Denmark is also allowing travel to and from Germany and Iceland, but visitors from those countries will not be allowed to spend the night in Copenhagen. It appears the Copenhagen restriction does not apply to Norwegians, but I could be misinterpreting the article on that point.

The Danish government is urging its own citizens not to travel to cities of more than 750,000 and advising "against all unnecessary trips to the rest of the world until 31 August".

The article closes with bullet points summarizing the travel restrictions of several other European countries. The article was posted a few hours ago (May 29); one hopes it's accurate as of this moment, but anyone for whom this really matters obviously needs to seek current information on the appropriate government website.

So I assume the Swedish experiment did not work...

Just like with travel, where one might not follow the herd, “herd immunity” should maybe not be the way to go. Denmark seems to be making travel policies.

Denmark/Norway Create a "Travel Bubble"

Just like Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria. Germany will probably join one or two weeks later.
