What are you doing?

[[TC]►Ras◄]

I'm still at work, but everyone in an office position are working from home. I work in the warehouse department, so i have to help get the goods out. We are only a few working there, though, so no big danger in that. We of course keep our hands clean at all times and avoid close contact with couriers, truck drivers and customers. We generally don't sign for deliveries anymore, as that would be too much contact, so the couriers have a different way to sign for packages now.

Here in Denmark, most things are completely shut down, including all schools, universities and public work places, such as libraries, recycling centres, municipality and city hall positions that are non-essential, etc. Supermarkets, bakeries, home improvement shops, clothes shops and other non-food shops are still open, however shopping centres are not allowed to be open. Every restaurant is closed. Only take away and drive-through's are allowed. Gyms are shut down. Everything that is still allowed to stay open must have hand sanitizer available and there has to be enough space in the shops for people to keep distance to each other. All supermarkets here have introduced markings on the floor to indicate how close you can walk and stand to others. On top of that, a lot of chains have implemented glass between the cashier and customer.

The government has introduced economic help packages for many parts of the society. That way we hopefully avoid too many businesses shutting down permanently and a huge flood of people without jobs all of a sudden.

We are limited to a maximum of 10 people together in a group, and this is actually a law now. The police is heavily patrolling these days and anyone not abiding by this in any public space, will receive a fine of 1500 DKK/200€/215$ (per person in the area).

It is still allowed for us to leave our houses, as long we are healthy and not ill in any way, although the general advice is to limit going out as much as possible. And it seems that a lot of Danes are keeping to this advice, as traffic has decreased heavily, including pollution in the bigger cities. Motorway traffic has decreased with 14-55% depending on which motorway.

Public transport is still running, but passenger numbers have decreased a lot lately.

I don't personally know anyone infected (confirmed) with COVID-19, however i suspect it is only a matter of time before i hear about the first case within family or someone else i know.

Status in Denmark at the time of this post:
12.351 tested
