About 2.8 million citizens live in the combined area. They will not receive new health cards all at once. The regional council decided that existing cards remain fully valid.
This policy saves the region 30.2 million Danish kroner. Physical health cards will be replaced gradually over up to five years. Readers in Copenhagen can continue using their current yellow card as usual. This news was reported by The Copenhagen Post.
