Denmark Extends German Border Checks for Six Months

Denmark extends temporary checks at its German border for another six months.

The controls will remain active until May 17, 2027.

This affects people traveling from Sweden through Denmark to Germany.

Identity checks apply to all passengers entering Denmark.

This includes border crossings by land, ferry, and train.

Travelers should always carry valid passports and residence permits.

This helps prevent border delays or unexpected rejections.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen Central Station faces train delays due to emergency track work.

Danish train operator DSB reported fewer regional trains on several routes.

Affected lines include Østerport to Slagelse and Copenhagen H to Orehoved.

S-trains between Svanemøllen and Hellerup also run with reduced service.

Passengers delayed by over 30 minutes can request ticket compensation from DSB.

In health news, Statens Serum Institut reports a rise in Covid-19 cases.

The Delta variant now accounts for 55.4 percent of new cases.

Health authorities recorded 689 new infections within 24 hours.
