Denmark says the risks of a deep recession may now be more dangerous for Danish society than a second outbreak.

COPENHAGEN - Denmark is expected this weekend to reveal plans to relax its coronavirus lockdown, becoming the first country outside Asia to do so, reasoning that the risks of a deep recession may now be more dangerous for Danish society than a second outbreak.

On Monday, the government said it would start gradually lifting its lockdown after Easter if the numbers of cases and deaths remained stable, apparently confident it can guard its population against a second outbreak. In considering whether to ease the restrictions, the government is trying to balance the need to keep its population safe and the economic risks of a deep recession."The situation we are in is far more complicated than appreciating human life," the country's prime minister Mette Frederiksen said on Monday.
