Danish Minister of Health Magnus Heunicke: “The authorities have a reasonable suspicion that we have the first two cases of the new variant Omikron in Denmark.

The variant has been captured in the variant PCR tests that the Statens Serum Institut (SSI) does on positive samples, and therefore we have quickly captured the variant.”
