Since Friday is a person dead with the coronavirus in Denmark. Thus a total of 610 people died with the virus in Denmark.

It shows the most recent figures from the Statens Serum Institute, published on Monday.

the Figures are published on the weekdays, and thus cover over the development since Friday.

since then, the number of inpatients with coronavirus has increased by one to 18. Of these six hospitalized in intensive care, of which three put into the respirator.

In all, the 960.821 tested for coronaviruses. It is 25.768 more than the figure disclosed Friday.

91 people are confirmed infected, which sends the total number of confirmed infected people up on the 13.037.

Henrik Nielsen is a professor and senior physician at the infectious disease department at Aalborg university Hospital.

He looks overall the figures as the expression of an epidemic is under control.

- The thing that strikes me the most is that the numbers are infinitely small. It is the equivalent of about 30 new cases per day. And when it comes to the inpatients at the hospitals, so there is virtually standstill, says Henrik Nielsen.

His own region, north Jutland, denmark, was through several weeks marked by local smitteudbrud, among other things, affected the care of older people in Denmark.

The kind of mikroudbrud do you expect more of over the summer.

over the coming weeks and months we will spread in Denmark, see small outbreaks with a limited number of persons who are infected.

- they will be identified and contained with a very active and aggressive tracing of smittekæder and isolation of those affected.

- Then it will die out in a matter of weeks before the infection again popping up in new locations in small outbreaks. It is the scenario over the summer in Denmark.

When we reach the autumn and winter, we must, according to the professor prepare for a possible resurgence of the epidemic:

- Right now we are helped, because the weather is warmer, and we are more outdoor. It will not surprise me if autumn is an increase, simply because we are more inside and closer to each other. It promotes the spread of infection, says Henrik Nielsen.
