Lockdowns and social distancing restrictions have pushed couples apart around the world. But Denmark is now allowing some citizens in cross-border relationships to reunite with their partners.
The government eased coronavirus restrictions on Monday, allowing the fiancés and partners of some citizens to enter Denmark from neighboring countries, police and justice officials told CNN.
"The police requested people to prove the relationship by showing proof. The proof could be love letters or photos or things like that, but that was changed yesterday by the Minister of Justice," a Danish Police spokesperson said."In order for a sweetheart to be allowed to enter Denmark, proof must be provided that the relationship has had a certain duration, basically six months," the Danish National Police website states.
"An overall assessment will be made at the border as to whether the foreigner will be allowed to enter Denmark." "If it turns out that 500,000 German partners suddenly come to Denmark, then you might say, 'There are probably some who are cheating with the rules.'"
