Easter is on the doorstep, and it is for many synonymous with aquavit, cold beer and herring – or rather, easter.

But is it at all justifiable to keep one of the most traditional places to eat easter lunch, even if you have less than the recommended number of 10 people?

It is a question that B. T. has received hundreds of times in our questions & answers-live, where we daily answer readers ‘ questions relating to the coronakrisen.

And to answer the question, so has B. T. teamed up with virolog, and professor of biomedicine at Aarhus University Søren Riis Paludan.

“I personally would not do it,” he strikes quickly fixed and adds:

“We are ahead of a possible opening, where there will already be more infection, but before we slowly begin to open the floodgates, so I avoid it. One breaks the rules, if you do it, but it is definitely not recommendable.”

Thus lays Søren Riis Paludan, then, up on the recommendations that have come from the authorities. Ago 18. march has indeed been prohibited to gather more than 10 people in the public space.

the Ban applies to events, events, activities or the like, where there are more than 10 persons total. This applies to both indoor and outdoor and for both public and private functions and events.

And even if it is not applicable in private homes, the so called Mette Frederiksen “strongly” to not accumulate too many in a home, as she the day before held a press conference.

“now is not The time to invite to the birthday or gather many people,” it said.

If now we keep a distance?

in Addition to a large number of other good advice, so are the danes also been invited to to drop all physical contact, and not least to keep the distance – like a one-two meters to each other,

And it should be possible by easter, several of B. T.’s readers indicated in the foregoing questions & answers-live.

“But how much easter is over it,” asks Søren Riis Paludan rhetorical and continues:

“I would still recommend that you drop påskefrokosten. You hold on anyway, so you should take precautions. Maybe also avoid too much alcohol, then you do not ease up on the recommendations, and if necessary, hold the luncheon outside,” he says.
