🇩🇰 is seeing a slight increase in #covid19dk

1,497 new #covid19 cases recorded last month.

That is less than 25% of the cases recorded in April (6,317) -- the month with most cases under lock down.

How does 🇩🇰 compare with other places?

What about 🇺🇸?

Wisconsin (5.8 mill) and Minnesota (5.4mill) have populations comparable to Denmark (5.8mill)

Minnesota had 19,507 new #covid19 cases past month

Many times that of 🇩🇰 (1497) and about 4 times larger than 🇩🇰 peak under a complete lockdown. 4/
