PM Mette Frederiksen revealed on Monday evening that Denmark may begin gradually emerging from its lockdown state after Easter, if the number of new confirmed cases remains stable.
But today, Statens Serum Institut (SSI) registered a considerable leap in new cases – up by almost 250 compared to yesterday.
Denmark has now registered 2,815 confirmed cases.

Few flu cases
In related news, SSI has registered a significant decrease in the number of standard influenza cases over the past two weeks.
A total of 260 people in Denmark were confirmed to be infected with the flu during the week before last – a 70 percent decline compared to the week before.
The news comes despite the number of people being tested remaining the same.
Computer scientists from the University of Copenhagen are using AI to calculate which coronavirus patients need ventilators and intensive care.
The system will help doctors identify the symptoms that seriously ill patients have in common. Hospitals could use the insights provided by the AI to work how many patients will need a ventilator at specific times in the future, and plan their resources accordingly.
“We are aware of certain things that increase risk, such as age, smoking, asthma and heart problems, but there are other factors involved,” said Espen Solem, the chief physician of Denmark’s Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospitals.

“After all, we hear about young people who end up on ventilators, and older people who do well without understanding why. So let’s get the computer to find patterns that we aren’t able to see ourselves.”
How the system works
People with coronavirus have displayed a wide range of symptoms. This means the system needs to process a vast amount of data to understand what leads to severe cases of the infection.
First, it will analyze X-rays, tests, health records, and measurements of people who have already finished treatment to identify the traits they have in common. They’ll then collect the same data from newly hospitalized patients.
All of this data will be fed to a supercomputer, which will tell doctors when a new patient will need a ventilator.
The researchers aim to launch the system during this initial wave of coronavirus infections. If it’s not ready by the time that ends, they’ll use it the second wave, which they expect to hit Denmark in the fall.
Similar systems are already being developed in China. With governments struggling to find enough ventilators to meet the growing demand, they could provide a bit of extra room in overstretched hospitals around the world.
the Number of deaths with the corona virus has now risen to 22. The number of hospitalised falls for the third day in a row.
the Number of deaths with the corona virus in Denmark on Saturday has risen to 161, informs the Statens Serum Institut.
Friday was the number 139. This is an increase of 22.
the Virus is not necessarily the cause of death. To a deaths are included in the statistics, should the infected person have lost their lives, no later than 30 days after the person tested positive.
While the number of dead each day rises, the fall of the number of admissions now for the third day in a row.
507 persons are hospitalized. It is ten fewer than on Friday. The number of inpatients in the intensive care unit is on Saturday, dropped by one to 142. 112 need for the respirator.
Saturday is the number of persons who have tested positive for infection with the coronavirus has risen to the 4077. It is 320 more than on Friday.
Sweden’s closest neighbours have all enforced draconian measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Norway and Denmark have so far recorded 5,645 and 4,369 cases respectively, along with 62 and 179 deaths.
Additional 177 persons are found to be contaminated with the coronavirus. Almost 6000 in Denmark has now been infected.
the Number of coronasmittede danes who end up dying, continues to rise.
Saturday is a total of 260 people so far dead, after they have been infected with the virus. It shows the most recent figures from the Statens Serum Institut.
It is far from certain that coronavirusset has been the cause of death of the dead. This is because several of them have already had various diseases.
For the first time in over a week also increases the number of inpatients. Saturday is 408 persons hospitalized with coronavirus. It is seven more than on Friday.
there is, however, admitted to a critical care unit. Saturday is 106 persons in intensive care, while 90 have it so bad, that they need to get the help of a respirator.
Friday, there were 113 persons hospitalized in intensive care, while 95 were in need of help from a ventilator.
From Friday to Saturday there is a further 177 people also confirmed infected, so a total of 5996 people in Denmark are now tested coronapositive.
Has Denmark seen the back of the outbreak?
Denmark is about to make its first move to relax restrictions imposed to fight coronavirus.
From Wednesday, children aged 11 and younger return to schools and nurseries, after a month of closures.
It's among the first European countries aiming to put the lockdown into gradual reverse, just as it was one of the first to impose restrictions.
"It's important we don't keep Denmark closed for longer than we need to," said Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, as she announced the move last week.
The spread of coronavirus appears to be under control and the government wants to get the economy going again.
But Denmark's moves will be slow and cautious. Ms Frederiksen likened them to walking a tightrope.
"If we open Denmark too quickly again, we risk infections rising too sharply and then we'll have to close down again," she said.
....
Some 6,000 cases and 260 coronavirus-related deaths have been recorded up to 11 April.
Crucially, total numbers of hospital admissions and patients in intensive care have fallen since the beginning of the month.
