Thus, you must isolate after entry into Denmark even if you obtained a negative test result before entry and upon arrival or after entry. This applies regardless of whether the test is a rapid test (antigen test) or a PCR test, and regardless of whether you are a Danish or foreign citizen. The quarantine period may be shortened by taking a PCR test no less than 4 days after arrival. Children aged 12 and under, as well as passengers flying to Denmark from Greenland and the Faroe Islands, are exempted from the testing requirement.
