"I had a test on Saturday; it's valid until this afternoon. I'm related to getting examined once or several times a week, so it's not really a problem for me," he added.
Hairdresser Pernille Nielsen is similarly "excited" to be allowed customers after four months of closure.
'Distrust in citizens'
Businesses that allow customers in without a valid "coronapas" will be fined €400 and up to €6,000 for repeat offences while clients will be fined €330, the Ministry of Justice has warned.
Some retailers are troubled about the coercive measure.

It would have been much more useful if, for example, the policemen made review visits, like train researchers," said Jakob Brandt, head of the SMVdanmark federation of small and medium-sized businesses an account with the daily Politiken.
