Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen said joining Premier League club Brentford offers him the opportunity to return to a "normal life" as he seeks a comeback seven months after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Eriksen, who collapsed during a European Championship match against Finland in Copenhagen and was given life-saving CPR treatment in front of shocked fans and teammates, signed for Brentford last month as a free agent for the rest of the season.

The 29-year-old is now fitted with a special heart-starting device known as an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). Inter Milan terminated his contract in December because the ICD device is not permitted in Serie A.

"The challenge was more overcoming what really happened. You want to get back to normal, but for me, normal was getting back to playing in Italy but I wasn`t allowed to do this," Eriksen said in a club interview&nbsp;late on Monday.

"So for me, the normal had to change. We have the chance to get back to a normal life at Brentford."

 
Eriksen has not played a competitive match since his collapse, although he trained with his former club Ajax Amsterdam to build up his fitness.

"I feel very good, been doing a lot of running so condition and strength-wise, I am in a very good place. It`s only the football touch that needs to come back. The training and game minutes to get up to speed," he added.

"I`m excited to show that you can, with an ICD, and if you have had a cardiac arrest, if you do the proper tests and everything is OK you can play again. I am happy about it."

The sub-variant of Omicron coronavirus variant, BA.2, is more transmissible than the original one, but the vaccinated people&nbsp;won’t be able to infect others as easily as the unvaccinated, a Danish study has revealed.

The study found that the people infected with the new sub-variant, which quickly became dominant in Denmark, were roughly 33 per cent more likely to infect others, compared to those infected with BA.1—the Omicron variant.

The study, led by a team of scientists affiliated with the University of Copenhagen and the Danish Health Ministry among other institutions, has not yet been submitted for peer review.

"We conclude that Omicron BA.2 is inherently substantially more transmissible than BA.1, and that it also possesses immune-evasive properties that further reduce the protective effect of vaccination against infection," the study's researchers said.

The study further stated that BA.2 is highly immune to vaccines and can even infect vaccinated and booster-vaccinated people.

But vaccines still played an important role, the study underlined, since both booster-vaccinated and fully vaccinated individuals were less like to get infected and transmit either subvariants, compared to those not vaccinated.

Apart from Denmark, BA.2 cases have also been detected in the United States, Britain, Sweden and Norway.

More than half of the states in the US have detected BA.2, with a total of 194 confirmed cases nationwide so far, according to a global database of Covid variants.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a statement Friday, said BA.2 is currently circulating at a very low level in the US

But in Denmark, BA.2 sub-variant accounts for roughly 82 per cent of its cases.

Omicron sub-variant highly contagious than original, can even infect booster-vaccinated people: Study

Denmark became the first country in Europe to lift all&nbsp;Covid restrictions on Tuesday, despite rising cases and threats posed by a sub-variant of Omicron.

Experts say that the Scandinavian country took the decision after considering its high vaccination rate to cope with the milder variant, adding that the virus no longer qualifies as a “critical threat”.

As of Tuesday, limits on indoor gatherings have been lifted, while the use of facemasks and Covid passes will no longer be mandatory.

Only a few restrictions remain in place at the country's borders, for unvaccinated travellers arriving from non-Schengen countries.

The latest decision to ease restrictions comes in the wake of Denmark registering around 40,000-50,000 new Covid cases a day, or almost 1 per cent of the country’s 5.8 million inhabitants.

According to local media reports, over 60 per cent of Danes have received a third dose compared to EU average of just under 45%.

The health authorities estimate that 80 per cent of the population are protected against severe forms of the disease.

“We have an extremely high coverage of adults vaccinated with three doses,” epidemiologist Lone Simonsen of the University of Roskilde told AFP.

Under the current Covid regulations, the Danish Health Authority “recommends” those who test positive to isolate for four days, while contact cases are no longer being asked to undergo quarantine.

Denmark aims to scrap all remaining domestic COVID-19 restrictions next week, following on from similar announcements in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands in the past week despite high numbers of Omicron infections in Europe.

The Nordic country already loosened restrictions two weeks ago after a month-long lockdown, allowing cinemas and music venues to reopen, but some rules remain, including limited opening hours for restaurants and mandatory face masks.

In a letter to parliament, Health Minister Magnus Heunicke said the government intends to follow recommendations issued by an expert panel on Tuesday to scrap all restrictions by Feb 1.

The government's decision, which is subject to parliamentary approval, will be the most far-reaching easing of curbs seen among the Nordic countries.

Nightclubs can reopen and restaurants will be able to serve alcohol after 10 pm; customers won't need to present vaccine passes upon entry. Commuters can take the bus without having to wear a face mask and shops can lift limits on customer numbers.

If the changes are approved, the only rules that will remain are those covering test and isolation on entry to Denmark, which will stay in place for another four weeks.

The UK, Ireland and the Netherlands have in the last week announced similar decisions to remove most coronavirus curbs even though infections with the Omicron variant remain high. Among reasons given were case numbers dropping below peaks and lower numbers of hospitalisations than feared.

Denmark logged 46,590 new cases on Tuesday, slightly below a peak of 47,831 on Friday. The number of coronavirus-related hospitalisations rose to 918, the highest in a year.

But health authorities have estimated between 30%-40% of those currently in hospital with a positive coronavirus test are there for other reasons than COVID-19.

"There has been a decoupling between the trend that was applicable earlier in the epidemic, between increasing infection and increase in COVID hospitalisations," the expert advisory panel said in a report dated Jan 21.

Since a peak of 82 on Jan. 6, the number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care has fallen steadily to 44 on Tuesday.

Health authorities in Denmark said on Monday that third dose of Covid vaccine will soon be offered to citizens over 40 in order to curb spread of Omicron variant.&nbsp;

"Due to the new and more contagious Omicron variant the Danish Health Authority has decided to push the third jab for everyone aged 40 and above, so they get the vaccine four and half months after the second jab," the health authority said in a statement.

By reducing the interval of the doses, "we will be able to enter the winter with better protection for those at increased risk of severe disease and increased immunity in the population," director Soren Brostrom said.

European Medicines Agenmcy (EMA) said last week that a third dose was 'safe and effective' as soon as three months after the initial vaccine course.

Denmark also recorded a record number of new cases of Covid-19 on Monday, with 7,799 confirmed infections in the previous 24 hours.&nbsp; 
Over a week, the number of cases is also at its highest since the start of the pandemic at 46,189 cases, a jump of more than 50 percent compared to the previous week, according to data from Danish health authorities compiled by AFP.

Danish health authorities on Monday also said they expect the new strain, which was first detected in South Africa last month, to become dominant in the capital Copenhagen from this week.

The UK announced on Sunday evening that it would accelerate the rollout of booster doses, opening them up to all over-18s before next year.&nbsp;

Denmark is second worldwide only to Britain in confirmed cases of Omicron, with both countries having extensive sequencing of samples to detect variants quickly.

As of Monday, 3,473 cases of Omicron had been identified in the Nordic country of 5.8 million people, where 80.6 percent of the population over five years old has already received two doses of the vaccine.

Denmark mulls third Covid vaccine dose to combat Omicron

Denmark's midfielder Christian Eriksen started working out at the training ground of his Danish club he represented as a teenager, a spokesperson for the club said on Thursday (December 2). The 29-year-old Eriksen suffered the on-field cardiac arrest during his country's opening game of Euro 2020 in June against Finland. He received life-saving treatment on the pitch.&nbsp;

Ever since the shocking incident, Eriksen has not played a professional game of football. "Eriksen reached out to us, and he is now training by himself," a spokesperson for Odense Boldklub (OB) told Reuters.

"It's natural for him since he played here in his youth and lives around the corner. We are very happy to be able to provide training facilities for him," he said.&nbsp;

In the aftermath of the incident, Eriksen had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device implanted. It is a type of pacemaker that can prevent fatal cardiac arrests by discharging a jolt to restore a regular heart rhythm.&nbsp;

However, Inter Milan said that Eriksen is not permitted to play in Italy this season as a result of the cardiac arrest. "With reference to the registration rights of the player Eriksen, it should be noted that following a serious injury which occurred during the European Championship in June 2021, the player has been temporarily inhibited by the Italian medical authority from sporting activity in the current season," the club wrote in a statement in October.&nbsp;

Christian Eriksen now 'training by himself' for first time since cardiac arrest at youth club in Denmark

In Denmark, a municipality spent more than $150,000 a year clearing debris from beaches, only to dump it back into the water.

Danmarks Radio published a video on their website showing a bulldozer out in the waters at Stillinge Beach in Slagelse, Denmark. It appears that the bulldozer blade lifts and dumps a lot of material, which reportedly includes plastic into the water, before coming back to shore.

The bulldozer operator uses the rake and the blade to scoop up seaweed and plastic along the beach shore. When the blade becomes full of debris, the bulldozer once again heads to the water. During the summer months in Denmark, this happens twice a week.&nbsp;

This process has been dubbed 'completely idiotic' by environmental experts.

Professor Torkel Gissel Nielsen, a faculty member at the National Institute of Aquatic Resources, called the proposed method "stupid" since it requires scraping seaweed with a noisy tractor, then depositing it into the water, then driving the tractor back ashore again.

Nielsen explained that this means what you have just dumped into the water will wash up on the beach immediately afterwards.

Villum Christensen, Deputy Mayor of Copenhagen, defended the practice, arguing that the bulldozers are sweeping up cigarette buds and other small debris and not plastic.

The cigarettes and other debris will be there anyway, Christensen said. When the water comes, it collects things, and those things then drift away.

Denmark cleans beach, only to dump waste back in water

Denmark&nbsp;on Friday proposed to fast-track legislation allowing workplaces to&nbsp;mandate&nbsp;a digital "corona&nbsp;pass" for employees in its latest measure to curb a third wave of infections.

Earlier in the week, the government ordered Danes to present a&nbsp;pass&nbsp;when they visit indoor bars, restaurants and other public places. Usually shown by a phone app, the&nbsp;pass&nbsp;verifies that the holder is vaccinated, has tested negative or has recently recovered from infection.

Under the proposed new legislation agreed on Friday in principle between the government, unions and employer associations,&nbsp;bosses can decide to&nbsp;mandate&nbsp;workers&nbsp;to show&nbsp;passes though the employers will not be obliged to do that.

If the agreement comes into law as expected next week,&nbsp;Denmark&nbsp;will join a growing number of countries taking similar measures.

Denmark on Friday proposed to fast-track legislation allowing workplaces to mandate a digital "corona pass" for employees in its latest measure to curb a third wave of infections. Earlier in the week, the government ordered Danes to present a pass when they visit indoor bars, restaurants and other public places. Usually shown by a phone app, the pass verifies that the holder is vaccinated, has tested negative or has recently recovered from infection. Under the proposed new legislation agreed on Friday in principle between the government, unions and employer associations, bosses can decide to mandate workers to show passes though the employers will not be obliged to do that.
