Denmark will lift all of its COVID-19 restrictions by September 10, health officials said Friday, saying the virus no longer posed "a threat to society" due to the country's broad vaccination coverage.

More than 70 percent of Danes are fully vaccinated. "The epidemic is under control, we have record vaccination levels. That is why, on September 10, we can lift the special rules we had to introduce in the fight against COVID-19," Health Minister Magnus Heunicke said in a statement.
