In Denmark, one of the first European countries to go into lockdown, authorities say the spread of the coronavirus has been slowed enough that the country can begin to reopen.

Denmark was one of the first countries in Europe to announce that it would shut schools, borders and businesses, and fewer than 300 people have died from the virus. Now Danish authorities say that the spread of the virus has been slowed enough that the country can begin to reopen. Elementary schools and day cares will open their doors on Wednesday, but the move has been divisive.
The chairman of the Parents Union in Denmark, Signe Nielsen, told Overgaard that she's feeling secure about the situation and will be sending her kids to school this week, but she can understand others' worries. Government officials say that by sending children back to school, parents can work from home more productively and bolster the economy.
