A further 22,396 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were registered by Denmark’s State Serum Insitute on Tuesday.
The latest daily total for new cases of the coronavirus is the highest since January 5th, and is also the first time the total has exceeded 20,000 since that day.
The 22,396 new cases were detected among 184,204 PCR tests, giving a test positivity rate of 12.2 percent according to The Local’s calculation.
