According to the Danish Health Authority, face masks can be effective in preventing infection in situations in which social distancing is difficult to maintain. Graphics: The Danish Health Authority website.

To fight the spread of COVID-19 infection in Denmark, on Friday 18 September the government introduced a new face mask requirement. This mean that everyone must now wear a face mask in canteens at Aarhus University – specifically the canteens that are open to the public. If the face mask requirement applies to a particular canteen, there will be signs informing visitors.

So remember to pack a face mask in your bag if you want to buy something from one of AU’s canteens. You don’t have to wear a face mask inside the canteen when seated or outside the canteen.
