Denmark makes homeless a priority in vaccine roll-out

The First Minister told the Scottish parliament that Covid-19 case numbers have "stabilised and even declined".

She added: "The cabinet decided today that - except for vulnerable and key worker children - school and nursery premises will remain closed until mid-February." The Scandinavian country started vaccinations on 27 December and is currently among the quickest in the European Union, in terms of jabs per capita, in the vaccine roll-out.

According to social services, Denmark has about 6,500 homeless people, and the decision follows calls from charities and elected officials who have pointed to an increased risk of transmission among the homeless. She is likely to agree with regional leaders on stricter requirements for working from home among other measures.

Also up for discussion is a compulsory wearing of heavy duty masks in shops and on public transport which offer more protection than cloth coverings, said Mr Mueller. Taiwan has cancelled a major festival during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday as it reported four locally transmitted cases of Covid-19, the biggest daily rise in local infections in nearly 11 months.

The festival, which features oversized lanterns and fireworks displays, attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and has become a major selling point for the government to attract tourists from overseas.

Who are they kidding? This will go on until after Easter but they can’t say that in public because people in Scotland would not like it.

Nothing strange about that at all folks, after months of telling us the frontline workers will be prioritized... 55 dead in us after jab 33 in Norway, do your homework.

Wow...I am surprised the homeless are still alive. Bad immune system, a lot of them drug addicts, no mask, no social distancing. Wonder how they where not dropping in droves.? Huh? Makes you wonder?

Denmark? Wtf?

With the amount of deaths is causing I find this rather alarming, it's like the Purge

A brilliant decision. The right thing to do. I hope our Government follow Denmark's decision.

As opposed to helping them find worker food or get a house? I'm sure they would rather survive life in a house than run the risk of losing their sense of taste or smell.

The north will follow suit

This is the right was no confusion simple and straight. What a shit show we get from Norma and the government FFS
