All Danes Can Be Tested for COVID-19

The huge COVID-19 test centre in Copenhagen — one of five in the country

While Denmark has done an excellent job tackling the COVID-19 crisis and is now opening up and returning to normal, all Danes are being offered a COVID test to see if you have it — or have had it.

Yesterday, I logged on to the website for the tests. I had been randomly selected by the health authorities. In under three minutes, I had selected a time slot for the next day — today — and it was as easy as booking a table at a restaurant.

On the website it says:

Virus Test: You can book a virus test if your doctor or employer has sent you or if you’ve been selected at random. In the course of the week, all adult Danes will have the opportunity to book a virus test. Many people want to be tested so there might be a waiting period. New time slots are constantly added, so you can come back later and check.

Antibody Test: At the moment you only book a time for an antibody test if you’ve been selected by the authorities at random or if you’re participating in a research project. You’ll be notified by digital post if you’ve been selected.

Here’s the website if you live in Denmark: http://coronaprover.dk.
