adults have to prove they are corona—free. at the entrance, it's not only tickets that are carefully checked — visitors must show a �*corona pass�*. it's a negative test result within the last 72 hours, a certificate of vaccination or proof of previous infection. the extra measures haven't kept visitors away. it makes you feel more safe to know that, well, when there are lots of crowded people together, they have been tested. i think it's part of how life is right now. you have to accept it to keep the infection rates low, and it'sjust what it is. a smartphone app called myhealth gives danes access to their digital health records. this serves as an initial corona pass, while a new, more advanced app is expected next month. over the coming weeks, as denmark opens up further, danes will have to show a corona pass to access many other places including restaurants, cinemas and gyms. the rules already apply to hairdressers. after a long lockdown, gitte alsing is relieved her salon can open again. it's good because my business
